Reason
Based on my personal journey, in the last year, I experienced the death of my family, and at the same time, I ushered in my second natal year. Although I am already in my mid-twenty, some ancient rituals I experienced because of the changes in my life, and the novel feelings they brought to me were the first time.
Why ritual
Rituals help us mark the most important moments in our lives, they teach us how to love, how to let go, and how to find where we belong.
Many of us are grieving the rituals of life we once enjoyed. The shared emotional experiences around traditions associated with loss, celebration, ceremony and routine help bind us together within our families and friends, work, local communities, and wider society.
– In the circle of life, rituals help us understand the human experience.
– As our societies evolve faster than ever, age-old rituals adapt to fit our modern lives.
– Why do we still choose to come together for ceremonies in vast numbers.
– How ritual gatherings keep communities alive and help us reinforce our own identity by joining the crowd.
