I greatly appreciate the continued exploration of ritual. Growing up in uptight white New England, the more I learn from others, including you, and in collaborations and teachings from Native Americans, the more I feel connected and grounded in my true self and to nature. Grateful. And to doggos!!

Yes, so many of us have had rituals erased from our memories and that’s so sad. I’m glad we are making our way back together!! πŸŒˆπŸ™πŸΎπŸ˜˜

Happy Full Moon Sebene. Some's quote, "...rituals are necessary because there are certain problems that cannot be solved with words alone." A-womin to that!

Blessings.

Beautiful. Thank you Sebene.

I believe that ritual enhances everything down to even the most mundane of repetitive tasks.

It brings me closer to the mystical.

Oh I loved learning about this! It’s so validating and helps quieten the voices that demand proof of the unknown. I particularly loved the quote from Paul Tilich. Thank you for your work Sebene β™₯️

On the new moon I offered an incantation around life as ritual. And life has been lifing and it’s been a challenge to find flow (feel you?). This is a timely offering, Sebene! I appreciate the 4 Step process you shared as someone beginning to feel into authentic intuitive ritual… feels newish and also very old and known in my body. Staying curious. Looking forward to your woo share! :)

Thank you Sebene. I usually shy away from thinking of my daily practice as a ritual, and this meditation let me laugh a bit at my hesitation to label it as such. But it brings me comfort and calm.
