Family Rituals Book by Acclaimed Teacher of Practical Spirituality Barbara Biziou Released

Feb. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- After many requests for its re-appearance, The Joy of Family Rituals, by author and spiritual guide Barbara Biziou has been released in paperback by Cosimo Books. This book, a wonderful complement to The Joy of Ritual, is a recipe book for families wishing to participate in rituals as part of everyday routine to make their lives more fruitful and enriching. It describes the tools you need to perform rituals for small and big events that occur as families grow: ingredients are given special, sacred meaning and families can adapt Barbara Biziou’s advice to their own needs and traditions.

Biziou, an internationally acclaimed teacher of spirituality, life coach to women, men and corporate clients, and a frequent media guest, is passionate about helping people to live the life of their dreams. She has had an auspicious start to the new year, appearing in a New York Times article, “Searching for the Soul to Cleanse It.” This article not only brought attention to Biziou’s practice and teachings, but also to the importance of ritual itself.

The work of Barbara Biziou, including The Joy of Family Rituals, has received positive feedback and wide praise from various corners:

“Rituals make our lives work. The Joy of Family Rituals makes our family rituals work in a smooth, beautiful, and perfect way.”
                                                            —Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of the #1 New York Times bestseller Chicken Soup for the Soul series

“Barbara Biziou’s book is brilliant, inspiring, and comforting […] It’s like having your own fairy godmother in the attic weaving your family’s personal, magical golden cloth out of the straw of ordinary life.”  
    —Hal and Sidra Stone, authors of Partnering: A New Kind of Relationship

“Reading The Joy of Family Rituals is like having a wise best friend to turn to for reassurance during troubled times or for thoughtful advice when you want to celebrate life’s great evens with style and flair.”  
—Marjabelle Young Stewart, America’s most published
etiquette educator and author of Commonsense Etiquette
