Barbara Biziou

I took a Rituals class with Ms Biziou earlier this month. In the book she gives you "recipes" for performing your own rituals. Rituals to celebrate milestones, transitions or holidays are included in the book.Ms Biziou is an interfaith minister and the rituals are appropriate for people of all religions (or no religion). There are rituals for a new home, community building, divorce, grieving the unborn, moving through depression and many, many more. Emphasis is on developing your own rituals - not having to be perfect, using colors and symbols that hold meaning for you, losing the parts of rituals that don't speak to you or work for you. I found the directions very clear, esp compared to similar books I've read in the past. Of course, being in her class and learning things directly from Ms Biziou, plus the hands on experience, was extremely helpful. The aim is to integrate practical spirituality into your life daily. Highly recommended.… (mehr)
