Virtual Gallery of selected pieces available for viewing May 1!
More than a routine, a ritual is something special that might bring peace of mind and help us connect to ourselves, our family, the environment around us, our culture and traditions.
Rituals can be simple, like writing in a journal, or more complex, like a big holiday tradition. Daily rituals might include a morning cup of tea on the porch or reading a bedtime story to the kids. The timing of rituals may be variable like meeting a friend for coffee, taking the team out for ice cream after a win or visiting a special place.
What are the repeated customs, practices, traditions and celebrations that become rituals in your life and make it special?
