Making time for creating new rituals

Training and workshops in ritual accompaniment are based on
theoretical learning and practical experience. The planning,
creation and realisation of new rituals requires a significant
investment of energy and time, both in the classroom and at
home.

E-learning is now widespread and, while it is effective for the
study of factual knowledge, no virtual platform can replace
proximity and direct contact. Participants who aspire to
professional ritual accompaniment require personal attention
from an experienced instructor and learning conditions that are
similar to what they will encounter in their work. They must be
able to handle complex situations that affect the lives of their
clients.

This methodology fosters creativity and non-competitive peer
support. Interaction among participants, group work, imagining
and simulating rituals and feedback from others are essential for
learning how to use the tools proposed and to creating rituals.∆
