Rituals and Altars:  Common Ground in the Everyday Sacred

Rituals and Altars: Common Ground in the Everyday Sacred is the second program in CroneWorks Practical Spirituality Series.  At the amazing "Peace" retreat last fall, participants requested a spring offering, and this is it!  Participants are afforded a chance to delve deeper into their Spiritual life, with a balance of group experiences and quiet reflection time.

Mission Statement:

Many of us desire a sacred space in which we can be still, pray, or enter into a realm of consciousness that is different from the daily hustle and bustle of our lives.  We also wish to create meaningful ceremonies that give comfort, solace, honor, offer supplication, and give thanks.  Two ways that we can accomplish these desires are by creating altars and developing rituals.  This workshop honors all beliefs as it provides methods for creating altars and rituals.  We explore many ways in which we can set an intention, create sacred space, and develop rituals that enhance our daily lives as we connect to what is sacred for each of us. 

Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this workshop, you will be able to:

1.  Define terms associated with ritual and altar making.
2.  Describe historical and cross-cultural components of rituals and altars.
3.  Create an altar that is meaningful and intentional.
4.  Develop the components of ritual, and create a ritual that is meaningful and intentional.
