“Ritual re-patterns us to larger cycles within ourselves and within the cosmos. Ritual recalibrates elemental tendencies, and brings us back into connection with the heartbeat of the universe.”

-Joshua Shrei, the Emerald Podcast

The Ritual Reconnect;

Intentional Mythosomatic Gathering

Mythosomatics; poetry, storytelling, song, art creation, and communal ritual are ancient technologies of connection, resourcing, and healing.

These practices, rooted in the wisdom of our ancestors, offer us energetic pathways of repatterning that transcends the level of mind/intellect, and speak to the deep embodied root of our being.

Engaging in mythosomatic practice on an individual or communal level, can help facilitate a sense of deeper connection, belonging, and rootedness in your own Being, community, and the larger Cosmos.

At The Ritual Reconnect, we gather in community to nourish these essential energetic pathways of resourcing, and  re-weave ourselves into the revitalizing pattern of Creation.

Gathering Flow

Meditation & Intention

We begin by lighting a candle and connecting to body and breath. I guide a meditation, and offer an intention for our gathering.

Offering & Sharing Circle

We engage in embodied mythosomatic practice. Circle offerings can be poetry, storytelling, song, or art creations. We receive with heart, and close the container of our ritual space with gratitude.

Tea & Reflection

We close with time to reflect and connect.
