«When we create a ritual, with a clear intention of what we are marking, a space for deep transformation and healing opens»
A GEMMA Polo and text
What is a ritual?
A ritual is the creation of a sacred space where to stop, connect and make sense of a significant moment of life. It is an intimate and personal experience that we can celebrate individually or in community.
A ritual connects us with the world of the subtle and symbolic. When we create a ritual, with a clear intention of what we are marking, a space for deep transformation and healing opens.
How can rituals help us at times of change?
When we travel a change in our life, for example the birth of a baby, the death of a loved one, the arrival of menopause, a transfer, a separation, a union … a ritual can help us to become aware of what we are leaving behind, what is being transformed and of the new stage that is opening.
Creating a ritual at this time allows us to understand and integrate all the potential of these changes, and live them from a place of greater clarity, wisdom and thanks.
Why are we recovering rituals in our lives?
Today, many times we feel a vacuum or lack of referents in the moments of transition that we live throughout our lives. Since ancestral times, in all cultures, these changes from one state to another have been accompanied by some type of ritual or ceremony, which has given a sense and orientation to this internal transformation.
There is a great desire to re -contact with the sacred in a creative and genuine way, and to share these changes with our circle of friends and family, in a simple way, without dogmas or religious burdens.
What is the role of the person who facilitates or guides a ritual?
Within re -incorporating the rituals in our lives, we are both recovering the role of the priestess or «celebrant», a woman who intimately knows the transforming power of the rituals.
A ritual facilitator can create or help cook and guide a personalized ritual. Through deep listening, he knows how to capture the essence of what is being transformed and how to shape it within the key elements of a ritual.
Its presence and connection during the celebration are also essential to sustain the transformation process, as well as their ability to accompany in a loving way the integration of a new stage or identity.
