Importance of Ritual

Why are rituals so important?

"...rituals are about healing, acknowledgement of people and their gifts, and making spirit visible or tangible.

A ritual is a ceremony in which we call in Spirit to be the driving force, the overseer of our activities...

It is a way for us to find our way to wholeness, peace, self-acceptance, and acceptance of others.

Ritual allows us to connect with the self, the community, and the natural forces around us.

Ritual helps us to remove blocks between us and our true spirit.

The purpose of ritual is to take us to a place of self-discovery and mastery.

In this sense ritual is to the soul what food is the physical body...

Ritual is not limited to just indigenous people; it is the language of spirit, and has a universal dimension to it."
