REFUGIA: Healing Through Rituals

How can rituals serve us in creating healing centered spaces?

​Ritual ( when done right) can be a very powerful tool in creating spaces for healing.

When we create a ritual, we can create a shared purposeful experience that is designated to healing.

They can help us go through grief collectively, so we can be each other's witnesses and have a shared experience.

Where to start when it comes to rituals and ritual design? 

How can you create something meaningful for the space and the people you share this with? 

And what examples do we know of rituals that serve us in healing together?
