  • Ritual Work, but instead of doing “The Work” can we make it “The Play”?
    Jun 3 2024

    Maybe all the work doesn’t have to be so much work and instead could be seen as play time to just get curious and connect? Join us as we discuss Savanna’s recent weekend of ritual play and hear the story of how Sue Ellen was first introduced to playful ritual practices as well.

    If you’re interested in bringing more ritual and ceremony into your life here are a few incredible people holding space and keeping the magic of ritual practices alive and well…
