CEREMONY AND RITUAL

Ritual, which literally means to fit together, is our conscious way of recognizing how the events of our lives weave together and hold meaning. Ritual speaks a symbolic, metaphoric language, and therefore engages the rich layers of the psyche that connect us to the wholeness of life. Because ritual utilizes multi-sensory processing—sight, sound, touch, movement, and smell—change can occur at a deeply embodied level. The holonomic nature of both ritual and ceremony allows us to create new patterns and revision our lives.
