Rituals are basically habits we’re aware of. We brush our hair and our teeth ritualistically. We can get in our cars and drive to certain places without even having to pay attention to the route. We are creatures of habit, and this course is about paying closer attention to your habits, and adding intention and desire to the habits you want to keep.There are so many simple ways to use rituals to create deeper connections to our spirituality. One important benefit of connecting habit to spiritual ritual is that it becomes less of a reactive idea and more of a part of your daily life.Maybe you were raised in religion, but discovered spirituality later on in life. Or maybe you’ve become disconnected with the spiritual practices that served you in your past.Whatever the reason, you are now open to defining spirituality on your own terms. In this course, I will guide you through the exploration of your own patterns and needs, so you can have clear spiritual goals, and a practice (a set of rituals) that helps you stay aligned with those goals.By using engaging, curiosity-focused activities and prompts, I will help you get clear and confident about calling upon whatever feels like God, Universe, or Higher Self to you.
