Rituals

I believe Ritual is one of the keys that will help transform the world.
Ritual is vital to your wellbeing.
And if you master the skills required to facilitate rituals, they will make all the difference for
your clients, for your students, for your children, and for your audiences.
Sixteen years ago, I experienced my first women’s circle and ritual, and it changed
everything.
Ritual completely transformed and brought about healing in every area of my life – my
health, my relationships, my work, my self-image and my overall wellbeing.
I was twenty-four years old, and while I was vey self-reflective, I was also incredibly
disconnected from myself and from the feeling that “all was well” in myself and in the
world. Without even realizing it, I longed for deeper connection, deeper trust, deeper self-
knowledge, deeper self-love. I longed to know that I was not a victim in the game called
Life, but instead an empowered participant in my own fate, health and happiness.
That first ritual reminded me of something I knew when I was 3 years old, but had
somehow forgotten over the years: that the world is a magical place, and that as a female,
I am a part of that magic.
And this “remembering” rekindled something deep inside of me, a sacred journey that I
continue to walk to this day, a path of connection and empowerment that has resulted in:

What is Ritual and why is it so
powerful?
by Joanna Lindenbaum
I have long said that before there was psychology and therapy, there was Ritual.
Ritual has been around for millennia, in all cultures and in all religions. It has actually
been around since before Religion as we know it today. Ritual has been used to bring
communities together, to mourn the loss of loved ones, to mark special occasions & rites
of passage, to honor & celebrate birth, to fully receive the benefits of the meals you eat,
to find true gratitude for life, to empower women within society, to begin relationships and
end relationships, and so much more.
Whether you ascribe to a certain religion or not, Ritual can be used as a powerful tool in
your life and in your work.
Ritual is a transformational experience that takes the intangible language of the soul and
psyche and makes it concrete and embodied.
In other words, Ritual takes the unrecognized or unexpressed hopes, fears, anxieties,
dreams, limiting beliefs, blocks and desires that are rolling around your mind and psyche
(conscious and not), and it gives you a very specific, sacred and safe container to bring
them out of your intangible self and into the world.
When you do this, then you can work with your desires and fears. You can understand
them better, come to terms with them, shape them…and you can even direct them to
create specific outcomes in your life.
Rituals can be done alone or in groups. They can be simple or elaborate.
Some rituals also become more and more powerful, the more often you repeat them. It is
the consistent practice that is sacred and yields immeasurable results.
Living in the modern world, we sometimes run the risk of living one-dimensional lives. We
run the risk of being disconnected from our most authentic selves, of being isolated from
others.
Ritual is a simple way of creating sacred space to bring more connection and
dimensionality to life. It is a valuable tool for yourself, your children, your communities and
your clients.

What you will need for the Ritual/Supplies:

Three trusted women friends who want to participate with you in this ritual (four women in
total). A quiet, safe place where all four of you can sit in a circle with an open space in the
middle of the circle and not be disturbed for about an hour.
Step-by-Step Instructions for the Ritual:

All four of you sit in a circle in a quiet, private and safe space. You each take a turn
speaking your truth, placing it into the center of the circle. Speak about what it means to
you to be a woman. Your hopes, your fears, your challenges, your loves, your frustrations
and angers, your accomplishments and joys. Your own experience of what it means to be
the woman that you are.
1. Go around the circle, with each of you speaking your experience and your truth into
the center - allowing the energies of everything that has been placed in the center to
mingle and mix - like adding ingredients to a soup. When you each have had a chance
to speak, go around the circle again. Speaking an even deeper level of truth. Share and

support your intention.
Before sending your email, pause, breathe, light a candle, and say a blessing, such as:

5. Give time for each to voice what they think, what the fears are, what might help, what
each part needs to be assured, and each time allow the facilitator to honor what they say.
If you cannot think of anything to say, simply say thank you for speaking. Note: Please do
not take personally the critics because often their job is to deter you and judge you harshly
so that the outer world does not have the chance to do that instead. It is an odd form of
protection. Simply listen and allow them to speak without reaction.
6. When you are finished, collect the papers at each place and sit back at the head of
the table and breathe. If you have something that has become clear you can state your
action steps. Otherwise, thank them all for their time and let them know it was good to
hear their concerns and that you will consider what they say in moving forward. Declare the
meeting complete. Blow out the candle. If there are things there, put them away until the
