When we gather in ceremony—to welcome a newborn, celebrate a marriage, or bid farewell to those we’ve lost—we are fully present to our experience and in touch with the deep meaning that feeds our souls. Imagine how our lives might change if we brought the same loving attention to every “ordinary” moment. This is the invitation of A Ceremony Called Life.
Yes: This book is an invitation to live all of life as the spiritual practice, and a guide into doing so. A Ceremony Called Life welcomes us to explore the wealth of meaning that is revealed when we bring the same loving attention to the mundane and challenging moments as we do the profound and sparkling ones. For anyone ready to rest in a deeper sense of embodied presence and connection, Sky lays out the map of the pervasive truth, beauty, and opportunity that rests in the center of all experience, and in doing so, empowers us to participate wholeheartedly in the Magic and Mystery of our human incarnation.
“To be sure, just because the darkness and the light are equally sacred does not mean we benefit by becoming complacent about the darkness we may meet in ourselves. Ultimately, if we are to cleanse the mirror of perception and purify ourselves, then we must bring light into the darkness. That’s always been the path of consciousness and the movement of illumination. This coexistence of darkness and light indeed creates a dance in which the clarity of light is invited to lead, but it does not create a hierarchy.”
