Discover how the power of rituals and creating your own can help you move beyond grief and detachment, allowing you to reconnect and ground yourself with the nourishing elements of this precious life.

 

The last several months have been intense for many. The isolation, sorrow, and fear have been overwhelming at times. Some of us have managed to stay somewhat connected with Zoom video calls, but mostly we’ve been shut off, sealed away from what brings us joy and keeps us connected to one another.

This pandemic has taken away part of our humanity — the closeness and solace we get from our interactions, in touching and hugging one another.

It’s cathartic to acknowledge our grief and loss during this time. But how can we move beyond the separation we’re feeling to fill ourselves once again with purpose and connection?

In this special hour-long event, Suzanne Sterling, an accomplished composer, yogi, activist, teacher, and invoker of the sacred, will demonstrate the power of rituals and show you how creating your own can help you move beyond grief and detachment so you're ready to reconnect — reestablishing your voice, and grounding yourself with the nourishing elements of this precious life.

Many think of creating rituals as something done only in a group — leveraging togetherness to amplify collective energies to heal trauma and celebrate all that is sacred. Yet, rituals are also extremely powerful when they are personal and private. Suzanne will show you how to create your own rituals through understanding their underlying framework.

When you practice a ritual, it drops you into a sacred place — grounding you, shifting your consciousness down to the very cellular level, releasing stuck emotions and healing trauma, providing you with resilience, and empowering your connection to the world.

You’ll see how adding rituals to your life can bring the sacred into any situation — you can create one around exercise, making it an act of love for your body and a connection to your environment. Another could be made around meals, elevating eating to an act of nourishing your body and connecting to the earth that has provided for you. There are many ways to incorporate rituals into your everyday life that will help you appreciate and treasure the divinity in all things.

When we are free to move about again, we can take the rituals we’ve created and bring them into our collective world, where they can be amplified and elevated into the realm of the sacred.

During this special free online event, Suzanne will lead a guided visualization where you’ll acknowledge where you’ve been disconnected — you’ll feel your sorrow, fear, confusion, and loss move through you and be replaced with a sense of safety and solace. This ritual of connection will take you into a sacred space, giving you a renewal of hope, healing, and resilience.

 

In this 60-minute online ritual mini-workshop, you’ll discover:

 
  • A simple chant as part of the ritual of hope
  • Ways to cultivate courage so you can heal from the isolation and pain you’ve been experiencing
  • Spiritual nourishment derived through grounding and calling in the sacred
  • How to establish yourself as your own spiritual authority
  • The “ritual recipe” that gives you the framework for creating your own sacred practices
 
 

During this FREE online event, you’ll also hear about a 7-week opportunity to more deeply explore rituals past and present so you can better recognize and celebrate important rites of passage, be a healing force in the world, and liberate your consciousness as a way of healing yourself, others, and our planet.

Suzanne's course will help you channel your sacred activism, free up your creativity and self-expression, and reconnect to the world around you.
