The Joy of Ritual: Spiritual Recipies to Celebrate Milestones,
Ease Transitions, and Make Every Day Sacred |
The Joy of Family Rituals presents unique ways to strengthen nourish, and anchor relationships with children,
parents, siblings, and other family members. Making these simple rites part of your family will foster
communication, nurture children's self-esteem, and help maintain a sacred and spiritual connection
among family members.
Like the format of The Joy of Ritual, it offers an array of ritual recipes from those that acknowledge
ordinary routines, (mealtimes, baths, and bedtimes) to ones that commemorate significant life passages
(parenthood, adoption and new siblings) and special family occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries.
"Rituals make our lives work. The Joy of Family Rituals make our family rituals work in a smooth,
beautiful and perfect way."
Mark Victor Hansen

"Healthy families are the foundation of any society, and ritual-making and celebration are at the heart of
healthy families. This book is an outstanding contribution to the art of creating meaningful rituals that can
empower a family. Full of many practical suggestions and ideas, it should be required reading right along with
Dr. Spock and any other books on child-raising and parenting. It will occupy an honored space on my own bookshelf,
and I whole-heartedly recommend it."
David Spangler
teacher and author of Parent as Mystic, Mystic as Parent.
"Barbara Biziou's book is brilliant, inspiring, and comforting that satisfies a deep, often unconscious,
human craving for rituals that give meaning and a sense of continuity to our family lives. Every family, no
matter what its religious or cultural background, will profit from this truly fascinating book. It's like
having your own fairy godmother in the attic weaving your family's personal magical golden cloth out of the
straw of ordinary life."
