IDEA
We speak of a ritual when the same actions are done in the same way every time.
Rituals can be traditions of communities (like a handshake as a hello) or part of religios ceremonies (like a wedding ritual). Rituals are characterized, but not defined, by formalism, traditionalism, invariance, rule-governance, sacral symbolism, and performance.
Rituals help strengthen a feeling of togetherness and belonging. They can have a spiritual aspect to them and can help form a structure and reliability for a group of people.
NOW - what we are doing
- We have a daily check-in. Everyone comes together in a circle and we share briefly how we are doing and what is going to happen that day, who needs help,.. We end the check-in with a big group hug.
- We come together for lunch every day in gratitude and appreciation <3
- We have weekly deep sharing circles and whenever someone feels a need we call in different other circles. In circle we follow certain protocols.
- We have rituals for the natural phases incuding equinox, moon phases, birthdays…
- We are creating new rituals, mixed from various different cultural backgrounds from around the world. Taking what resonates from ancient traditional practices to new inventions and creations.
FUTURE - what we would love to do
- Create regnerative rituals for our community
