 The Sand Ceremony: A Modern Approach $35

To purchase https://square.link/u/5zH3ClZY
PDF Book and accompanying workbook delivered by email.

This guidebook offers a fresh and contemporary take on the traditional sand ceremony. The step-by-step instructions and creative ideas will step you through making the unity ritual an unforgettable celebration of love.

This book is presented as an opportunity to be inspired by the wide range of example narrative components to borrow or adapt. PDF Book. Delivered by email. I was prompted to write it by comments I'd seen on celebrant forums that expressed the belief that the sand ceremony is a tired old ritual past its use-by date. A fair summary when it is performed as a statement of the bleeding obvious - that is, two people got married, But this ignores the many rich possibilities the sand ceremony presents. Taking a modern approach to the ritual broadens its reach in terms of inclusiveness, reflects current environmental sensitivities, and provides a multiplicity of options for personalisation.

CONTENTS: What is the Sand Ceremony? - History of the Sand Ceremony - The Primary Decision - Choosing and Using Sand and Containers - Sand Ceremony Colours - Visually Appealing Substitutes for Sand - Your Vows and the Sand Ceremony - Unity Sand Rituals - The Traditional-Style Sand Ceremony - The Spiritual Sand Ceremony - Christian Sand Ceremony - The Humanist Sand Ceremony - Wishing/Blessing Sand Ceremony - Sand Ceremony in a Naming - The Symbolism of Sand - Scientific and Other Facts about Sand - Environmental Considerations - Example Narrative Components - After the Ceremony - Sharing your Sand Ceremony
