S5 E7 Insights Into Rites of Passage
Imagine navigating the journey of life with the power of ritual in your hand. From births and weddings to grief and personal growth, each change shapes who we are. Today we reflect on five seasons of conversations with ritual makers and look at how they have use the tool of ritual to heal, grow, and transform.
S5 E6 The Emergence Ceremony (April Cantor)
How can we honor our youth as they come of age in ways that are strengthened by tradition and also allow their unique spark to shine? What would happen if we let them tell us what they need and co-created ceremony with them? Join us as we hear the story of the Emergence Ceremony that bridged into a powerful transformation for the entire family. #soulshinelifeyoga
S5 E5 Baptism as a Rite of Passage (Tina Torres)
Join us for an exploration of Baptism as a Rite of Passage - from both sides of the pulpit.
S5 E4 Blooming Amidst the War - Pt 2 (Alina Zievakova)
Imagine being able to attend a bold and beautiful theater performance that gives voice to a path you might know all too well, a path of healing from the impacts of violence or trauma. Imagine what that might feel like in your core, to see someone go on a journey similar to yours and get to the other side of it. (This is part 2 of a 2-part interview with Alina Zievakova of ProEnglish Theatre of Ukraine.)
S5 E3 Blooming Amidst the War - Pt 1 (Alina Zievakova)
Imagine having a silent witness, a partner who is with you all the time, even when you go through the hardest moments of your life. Imagine not being alone but instead being held, accompanied, supported. What might that feel like in your heart, in your body, in your bones? (This is part 1 of a 2-part interview with Alina Zievakova of ProEnglish Theatre of Ukraine.)
S5 E2 Techno Cosmic Wedding (Pt 2 - The Event)
So it’s the big day. The day of the Techno Cosmic Wedding. With your virtual invitation in hand, you walk into the venue.
S5 E1 Techno Cosmic Wedding (Pt 1 - The Plan)
What would you think if you received an invitation to attend to something called a Techno Cosmic Wedding? Would you be curious? Avoidant? Undecided?
S4 E9 Embracing Shame
What happens when shame stops us in our tracks? When we find ourselves in freeze mode and realize that it’s actually shame that’s holding us there? How do we break the spell and move through that paralysis - and what if there is a way to release that shame back to wherever it came from?
S4 E8 How Long Does Grief Take? (Irisanya Moon)
A significant loss can come in many shapes and sizes and has the power to change us at a fundamental level. That rebirthing we go through after a big loss is so important and can also be so painful. Two questions that can often come to mind are: “How long will this take?” and “Can I make it through?”
S4 E6 Surviving the First Year
The first year after a significant loss can be so hard. As the wheel turns and the light changes, visceral memories can arise of this time last year when things were different. How do we create space for our hearts as we go through a year of firsts?

Ritual can help begin things, end things, bridge over from one thing to the next. What differentiates one kind of ceremony from another often comes down to intention. But what are the materials of ritual and how can we use them to design ceremonies to support us in doing "the thing"?

Sometimes the cultural limits we grow up with can become our norms. Like the water we swim in, we forget to question them. What happens when we notice them and push back? Today @thegracechon shares her story of what happened when she dedicated a few moments a day to creative expression as a new mom and the photo series that went viral.

It can take great bravery to come out of the closet, to let the people we know the best know us on that deep, real level - especially if knowing the true us might be hard for them. There isn't a commonly held rite of passage for coming out as queer, but that doesn't mean we can't create one.
