Upcoming Book Publication: Blessing It All

For the last 3 years, I have been working on an anthology of rituals by and for Unitarian Universalists. Co-edited with Rev. Allison Palm, "Blessing it All: Rituals for Transition and Transformation" is coming out in 2023! This book, published by Skinner House Books, is an anthology of 73 rituals grounded in the theology and practice of Unitarian Universalism, with rituals designed for both individuals and congregations. It has been a labor of love and I am very excited to share it with the world! 

An excerpt from Blessing It All:

"The rituals in this book are for moments that are ordinary and profound, tender and heartbreaking, joyful and celebratory, and often a little bit of each. They are for moments of transition and loss, transformation and growth. They are for communities, congregations, friends, small groups, families, and individuals. They are meant  to be done in church sanctuaries and basements, in living rooms, in the woods, in the streets, in hospital rooms, in backyards and online, because we know that the moments that we need to ground ourselves, to connect with something larger than ourselves, and to mark a loss or a joy happen anywhere. These rituals happen where our lives happen, wherever people or families or communities gather, because we know that is where we encounter the holy."
