Naming Our Highs & Lows

Allowing a space for a community to name life's burdens and difficulties can be challenging (perhaps awkward) in a culture that is obsessed with positivity. Rituals are great tools to provide a safe space for a community to name the difficult moments of our individual and communal life experience. In the PDF attachment below are two rituals "Rocks and Water" and "Candle" that you can potentially use and adapt in your context.
