Remembering Ritual - The Importance of Keep Ceremony Alive

For thousands of years, ceremony has given humans around the world a unique opportunity to connect on personal and interpersonal levels. It is a chance to gather, witness and share. 

Living in an increasingly fast-paced reality, we have developed an enormous amount of new technology that accelerates processes versus savoring them. In ceremony, there is no rush;  it is a space to mark a natural transition whether it be birth, death, union, separation, coming of age… and the list goes on. 

Nowadays many of us move through challenging moments alone, with few tools for expression and knowledge around ritual. When we remember the age-old practice of ceremony, everything changes. Even the mundane moments become magical, even grief can become beautiful. 

Ceremony lends the opportunity to embrace change and to share our human experiences in relation to it. Through this lens, it is possible to see what’s most dear to us, reminding us of our blessings, key lessons and values.
