Book Description
Although major life events are generally celebrated with parties or showers, these gatherings often don't reflect the significance or sacredness of the transition being acknowledged. With this in mind, Carine Fabius has created special rituals to bring deeper reflection to such important events as the birth of a baby, a wedding, an anniversary, a birthday, or a move to a new home. Each ceremony includes information on the particular occasion, guidelines for preparation and a list of needed materials, and a complete script for the ceremony, which can be used as is or adapted to readers' preferences. Practical tips for creating a special environment, preparing an altar, designing invitations, and finding the supplies to be used in the ceremony are also included.

Easy to use and fun! October 8, 2004

"Ceremonies for Real Life" presents a positive and uplifting way to look at the milestones in our lives. It does a miraculous job of marrying practicality with poetry, without being too "New Age" or preachy. Fabius's smart, friendly and casual style makes it very user-friendly and an enjoyable read, even if you don't actually perform the ritual at hand. Taking a graceful approach to celebrations, the book could be useful for everyone from the novice who might be insecure about performing a ceremony to the person who could easily improvise and go with the flow. "Ceremonies" is truly an inspirational look at the sacred in our day-to-day lives and a great gift to share with friends and family.
Taking responsibility October 15, 2004

Carine has captured the spirit of "taking responsibility" for one's life moments. Instead of simply surviving coming of age, divorce, loss of a loved one or becoming a woman. Carine shows the wonder and power the moment's posses. She maintains a sage's wisdom as she unfolds one unique ceremony after another to celebrate what most of take for granted. Great read!!! You will never look at your life the same again.
Every Day Life Made Significant October 9, 2004

Ceremonies for Real Life is one of those books that you end up carrying with you wherever you move to in life.
It helps you turn every day life events into spiritual occasions that are infused with personal meaning because you lead the ceremonies yourself. Through this book you realize that life is about an alignment with the universe and taking an active part in it. And somehow it not only makes things better, but it also makes you feel you play a role in your own destiny. I recommend it whole-heartedly.
Ceremonies that rock October 3, 2004

This is a cool little book that can really bring some tranquility into your life. If you're a guy, don't be put off by that flickering and, no doubt scented candle on the cover. It's not like you're going to be performing these ceremonies in the garage as you're tearing down your Mustang engine. Do them at home with someone you love... your soul will thank you. Or maybe you do yoga? OK, so if you can handle downward facing dog, you'll love Ceremonies for Real Life.
Of course it doesn't say you CAN'T do them in the garage.

This is a great little book. Ms. Fabius' book offers one a script to draw from in the creation of ceremonies to celebrate various milestones in life with friends and families. You can return to it again and again for inspiration to prepare things to say to celebrate events throughout a life time. I have given her book to several of my friends in various locations around the world as a gift. I like to give gifts to people that will have lasting meaning and this book is one of those gifts.
