Excerpted from an article by Jan.
Rituals for well-being could be described as activities we pursue to connect deeply to what’s most meaningful to us. These intentional well-being rituals can connect us with our values, with life’s meaningful everyday moments, and with the people, places and things that add depth and richness to our existence.
Rituals cause us to take a step back, even for a short moment, and to reconnect to that which most fulfills us. Adding an intention before the activity and reflecting on its meaning afterwards can deepen the experience. Can you think of a ritual you could do right now, either by yourself or with a group?
The full article explains rituals of well-being and gives examples of rituals created by groups. Visit Jan Stanley’s article in the MAPP Magazine, Designing Rituals for Well-being.
