Megan Sheldon -- On Ceremony & Ritual

Many years ago, one of my most important mentors and friends offered this advice -- Be Ceremonial! It was an eldering move. It was words that I've come to appreciate at many layers over the years. In both challenge and delight. In fact, these days my Sweetheart and I are crafting ceremony for our upcoming wedding!

Well, Megan Sheldon has organized a body of ceremonial work -- for the big transitions in our lives, and for the day to day tending or who we are as healthy humans. Her and her husband's creation is Be Ceremonial (see below).

Enjoy this listen. Megan and I talk about the why of ceremony and ritual. Megan shares examples. We touch of few deep principles about how ceremony and ritual can bring health, comfort, depth, wisdom.
