A friend’s partner who works as a life coach wrote this. I am someone who does very secular wedding ceremonies and thought I could use some tips along these directions. I have no personal sense of the sacred or the divine, I’m just a tree-hugger who appreciates nature and community. This book is at its strongest when it’s offering ideas for occasions to mark, and ideas for doing those things, offering many people’s stories. It can veer strongly into woo and unintentional hegemonic statements at times but its heart is in the right place.
