To create a ritual:
Identify an area of your life that needs improvement. Spend some time with yourself.
Take a piece that relates to it, something solid and malleable.
Spend some time with that object, make it powerful and meaningful.
Turn it into a talisman or a symbol.
Use it to change your life.
In my process and in my life I am a keen practitioner of ritual. It focuses intent and strengthens resolve. In my own hands is the power to change my life and the way I interact with people, lying just bellow the level of conscious thought. I use ritual to pull the resolve forward into my mind, to be reminded of my competence.
I extend an open invitation to participate in a collective ritual of cleansing and honesty. This will not just be art to look at, it will be art to engage in. Choose to be playful and participate for fun. Choose to believe in something and participate to be cleansed. Choose to be powerful and participate to change.
This is an opportunity to mourn. Both for our own inadequacies and those of the society around us, this is an opportunity to express anger. Most importantly this is an opportunity to allow yourself to change.
It is all in your hands.
