Overview

Embrace the power of ritual with simple practices that slow us down to honor and mark the real moments in our lives--from the loss of a parent to the birth of a child, from grieving a pet to celebrating coming out of the closet. Hello, Goodbye is the guide we all need to navigate life's uncertainties with grace, meaning, and intention, perfect for fans of Krista Tippet, Priya Parker, and Elena Brower.

Life has many transitions: A baby is born. A child leaves for college. A marriage. A divorce. A death. We all experience moments of profound change, but what do we do to mark those moments? How do we slow down to imbue them with purpose and meaning? Could our lives be better, richer, and more resilient if we had more practical resources and rituals to honor, sanctify, and make sense of these transitions?

Day Schildkret, artist and author behind the international Morning Altars movement, believes that what we need is ritual. Rituals are the rhythms and traditions that give us a sense of stability in the face of uncertainty by reminding us that there's always something we can do, say or make that conjures awe, contentment, and gratitude. They give us a way to acknowledge through our actions that, as life changes, we too must change.

Offering ways to make these moments special and sacred, Hello, Goodbye teaches you to not fear uncertainty, but instead participate fully and creatively in life's inevitable changes, including:
-Birth of a child
-Moving and new homes
-Divorce
-Empty nesting
-Retirement
-Death anniversary
-Health crises

Containing over 75 hands-on ritual instructions and informed by hundreds of interviews and filled with beautiful illustrations, lush story-telling, potent questions, and experienced wisdom, Hello, Goodbye is lifelong go-to guide for life's many milestones, perfect for those looking to find meaning in change and embrace the transformative thresholds of our lives.
