Book Launch Ceremony

Join us for an in-person gathering to celebrate the release of Ritual Without Religion: A Humanist Guide to Creating Secular Ceremonies.

Megan Sheldon is a Cultural Mythologist, Humanist Celebrant and End-of-Life Doula. Her new book is part guidebook, part storytelling as she explores the nature of ritual, the science of ritual, the art of ritual and the practice of ritual.

Come meet the author, enjoy great conversations, and learn more about the role ritual and ceremony can play in our lives. Don’t miss this chance to be part of a unique event that will inspire you with ideas and connect you to a community of care.
