"Day Schildkret's deeply important, alive, ceremonial book is a guide to mending the rupture of separation by reminding us to sanctify all the changes in our individual, familial, and community lives. Whether you are traversing grief, the coming of a second child, losing a job, stepping into a new relationship, or anything else, Hello, Goodbye is the guide we all need to honor, and grow with, to embrace and embody the mystery, magic, and movement of life."

“This gem of a book, forged from the pains of Pandemic, is a lifeline, helpful ritual guide for our increasingly perplexing lives. With sensitive and courageous creativity Day continues and adapts the mystical Judaic tradition that recommends the daily recital of 100 blessings. Ritual by ritual, Hello, Goodbye is an intimate invitation to rediscover and reclaim this path of altars, in space and in time, marking our thresholds of becoming.”

—Rabbi Amichai Lau Levie

Hello, Goodbye is a treasured guide for all times. Sharing powerful rituals to reconnect us with our past and step courageously into our future, Day's words weave an artful tapestry of inspiration and invite us to participate, intentionally, in the natural cycles of our own personal journey – the beginnings and the endings – honoring the beauty and wonder of life itself."

“The reason I like this book so much is because it is a book that calms you down, a book that makes you feel. It has the power to silence any device and disturbance as you truly have a synesthetic experience while going through it. I truly admire this artist who presents beauty in such an unconventional yet effortless manner and he does so through nature, the most beautiful and vast database of beauty. Morning Altars makes you breathe nature and for me it promotes such a wonderful and important virtue: patience. I will definitely treasure this book and will make good use of it, especially when I feel lost and crave nature and have none around me. Congratulations to the artist.

“The kindness and generosity in Day’s teacher/ writer voice keeps us both reading. I think we're all so hungry for this kind of guidance right now: how to slow down, how to appreciate, how to clear, how to create, how to love, how to give, how to share.

This book contains detailed instructions for building your own nature art ritual practice. What’s more, the guidelines Day lays out provide a useful and unique structure for any creative endeavor. I know I will return to it for years to come, not just as a resource for playing artistically in nature, but as a way to stimulate, inspire, and give shape to my writing process. This book is a gift. Get one for yourself and a couple extra to give away.
