Learning the craft of ritualmaking

Ritualisation is an ancient human response to change, loss
and death. It engages us in an imaginative and creative
process. We practice ritual for many reasons, not the least of
which is to feel safe. When our rituals make sense to us and
our loved ones, they provide a safe context for our feelings
and act as a catalyst for empowerment. Being aware of this
process and using it to improve our lives can make us better,
stronger and freer human beings.

The workshops are designed to instruct and provide
participants with practical tools and experience in creating
custom rituals. They can be adapted to nearly any group's
needs, themes and settings.

Objectives:
Examine the broad spectrum of human ritual activity and how appropriate
ritual practice meets our most basic human needs: physical, neurological,
social and spiritual.
Learn to use the work of Stephen W. Porges on polyvagal theory (PT) to
promote healing of trauma and restoring broken relationships (exercises
and tools).
Master the craft of ritual to reclaim our life events, write our own history and
civilise our world (exercises and tools).

At least 6 people are needed to open a workshop.
