Living Passages for the Whole Family:

Celebrating Rites of Passage from Birth to Adulthood

A groundbreaking resource for creating contemporary rites of passage in the family from birth to adulthood. . .

"...a wonderful collection of thoughtful imaginative invocations, blessings, stories and songs for marking major life events - from pregnancy and birth to puberty and dating. Written with astute awareness of the emotional needs concerning each transition, this book is one of the best I've seen on creating family traditions."
