Ceremony for Uncertain Times

'Ceremony for Uncertain Times' is a collection of twenty-two grayscale drawings Stephanie Kellett has created since January 2021. It's also a whimsical guided meditation. It measures 6" x 9", and has 52 soft and glossy pages. The book is an offering of calm; these days are intense, to say the least, and they can knock us out of our center. Stephanie wanted a meditation that was simple, yet deep, and full of things that we could exercise healthy control over in our lives. Each image has the medicinal qualities of the animal depicted, but also a text prompt that adds a layer of depth and some direction to the meditation. The pages take you through three realms of existence - Underworld, Earthly, and Spirit Realm, and ask us to Mary Kondo our closets in each. Not always an easy task, but the results leave us feeling lighter, calmer, and more stable in our center. Thanks to the Columbia Basin Trust and the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance for their generous support in funding the book's creation and printing.
