A Ritual for Now
design —
New ways of making meaning.
Full Details
Rituals are carried out every moment of every day, all around the world. There are rituals for love and rituals for death. Rituals for good luck and for smooth sailing and for moving house. Rituals for planting a garden, rituals for entering adulthood.
But this year, dear writers, along with most everything else, our rituals must be rewritten. So many or our traditions this time of year are founded on gathering with friends and family. During a prolonged period of absence from large groups—at least
physical absence—how are you and your family planning on marking important dates on the calendar?
Tell us about a ritual you’d like to put into practice in the coming weeks and months, and how it will help you, or those you know, meaningfully mark this time.
