"The amount of extremely useful and inspirational information presented here is vast, breathtaking in fact. This is the book I have waited to see for a long time, it is, in short, invaluable. My recommendation is never to think about a seasonal festival again without at least looking at this book and seeing what advice it has to offer." Robin Whitlock - Awen magazine "The abundant - but always tempting - information covers a wide range of activities, from inner journeying to creating sacred circles and shrines, from making masks and corn dollies to suggestions for song and dance. There is no 'theory for the sake of it' and the book is a treasure chest of goodies that will have something to appeal to everyone. The book feels yummy in the hands - like all the best recipe books." Jan Morgan Wood - Sacred Hoop magazine

This user-friendly source book will be of great value to everyone wishing to celebrate and honour the changing rhythms and seasons of the Earth and her cycles.

Sacred Celebrations explores each of the eight Celtic festivals, looking at how they were celebrated and understood in the past, the underlying changing energy of the Earth and ways we may use this energy to create meaningful celebrations for today.

This book does not attempt to follow or recreate the past, but encourages us, whether celebrating on our own or with family and friends, to follow our own inspired interpretations of each festival, to touch the sacred, share and participate in the power of nature, express our feelings and find ways to focus on spiritual regeneration and healing.

Subjects include: understanding the five elements, the laws of manifestation, the rhythms of the Moon, Earth energies and sacred landscape, inner journeying, meditation, dance, song, masks, the healing energies of trees and herbs, celebrations for children, craft related activities, garden and land projects, labyrinths, building a sweat lodge, creating sacred space both inside and outside and many other creative activities to connect to the moment, to the Earth and to each other.

Glennie Kindred has been involved in sustainable living projects and healing for many years, organising group celebrations, healing gatherings, running her interactive workshops and co-creating and building labyrinths and meditation gardens. She currently lives in the Derbyshire hills with singer and songwriter Brian Boothby and their two children. Her other publications include: The Earth's Cycle of Celebration, The Sacred Tree, The Tree Ogham, The Hedgerow Cookbook, Herbal Healers and Creating Ceremony. The popularity and success of her self-published Earth Cycles of Celebration has prompted this greatly expanded, profoundly detailed, highly informative and inspirational sourcebook.
