We all have them. Much of our “lives” revolve around them. Many of us never reach our full potential because of them. Some of us suffer greatly at the hands of them.

Take a moment to examine the rituals that permeate your life. Have you ever thought to ask yourself why you follow a prescribed set of guidelines for living?

Have you ever questioned what was taught to you by your parents?

…your church?

…the government?

Ritual is about breaking free.

It is about rising above the oppressive nature of our ritualistic and programmed lives. It is about looking inward for answers and living life based on your own truths.

Ritual is about you.

    The older I become, the more I realize how dependent I have been on the rituals of others. I celebrate them mostly, but find great joy in discovering my own. Breaking away from ALL of them is where I grow and faith begins.
