Create Celebrations That Reflect Your Values and Don't Cost the Earth . Celebrations are ritualized interruptions in the continuum of daily life which remind us of who we are, where we came from, and where we are going. Our need and desire to celebrate are powerful drives.
Celebrations are vehicle for nurturing the human spirit.
Alternatives' Treasury of Celebrations channels our desire to celebrate into activities that truly nourish the human spirit, express our solidarity with all the earth's people, and respect the environment. It helps us resist consumer pressures and celebrate in a more spiritually fulfilling, joyful way. Treasury draws material from the six Alternate Celebrations Catalogs published from 1973-87 by Alternatives and adds new ideas as well. The Alternative Wedding Book is now available in three formats - English soft cover, English packet or Spanish soft cover. The Spanish edition, issued in 1995, is entitled Nuestra Boda.
