Good intentions RECLAIMING RITUAL
Humans are by nature inclined to repeat their practices. It keeps us calm, builds confidence and assures us of who we are. We challenge, question, encourage and participate in the activities that lift us up and fill our cup. This is ritual.
The way we live our lives is based on our deeply-held values which have evolved through kinship, memory markers and our desire for what’s to come. Ritual is creating patterns and rhythms, rites of passage and process. Sometimes alone for deep nourishment, growth and healing and sometimes with your people for tomfoolery, conviviality and another point of view. They are repetitious and cathartic.
REBUILDING CULTURE
Today we live in a world that is paced beyond our ancestors’ imaginations and one which has traded cultural with consumerism. Focusing our thinking on profit margins and not legacy means short-termism dominates and has removed our desire to stop, take time and ritualise our lives.
By considering those before us and those yet to come, we can slow our cultural heartbeat
