About this listen

We perform ceremonies to mark important events and celebrate holidays - yet our modern approach to ceremony only scratches the surface of its true potential. With The Book of Ceremony, shamanic teacher Sandra Ingerman presents a rich and practical resource for creating ceremonies filled with joy, purpose, and magic.

Weaving shamanic teachings together with stories, examples, and guiding insights, The Book of Ceremony explores the elements of a powerful ceremony - including setting strong intentions, choosing your space, preparing ceremonial items, and dealing gracefully with the unexpected. It also discusses key practices for leaving behind your everyday concerns and creating a space where magic can happen; the power of working with the elements, the natural world, ancestor spirits, and the creative energy of the divine; and much more.

The Book of Ceremony is more than a "how-to" guide - it will inspire you to create original ceremonies tailored to your own needs and the needs of your community. When you invoke the sacred power of ceremony, you tap into one of the oldest and most effective tools for transforming both yourself and the world. As Sandra writes, "If you perform one powerful and successful ceremony for yourself, the principle of oneness ensures that all of life heals and evolves."

I found this book quite powerful. The approach to ceremony, the adaptation of shamanic practices to modern applications, and the warmth of the writing was excellent. I've been quite skeptical of Sandra Ingerman's work in the past, but this book really changed my mind. She's a really skilled teacher and offers some really fresh insight, advice, and wisdom in this book. Very much enjoyed it, and will listen to it again.

i couldn't even really begin this book and i was requesting a refund before the first chapter finished. the narration, there was zero feeling or flow to it. it was rigid, and there were robotic like pauses between words. i felt myself contracting more and more with each sentence. i am not sure how there are so mnay books narrated by this narrator, but good on her for making a career of it?

there was also the issue in of the bloated, self-aggrandizement that seemed to go beyond just listing her experiences. i get that she has carved herself a nice niche as a self styled "shaman" in the white middle class world, but let your work speak for itself, rather than an intro chapter of how great you are. bblaaaah.
