Ritual as an invitation to get present with Dorothy Zablah

Welcome to Season 2 of ‚Pioneer Spirit & Mainstream Thoughts‘ podcast.

They talk about: 

• Rituals as medicine – How rituals can support us through difficult times (in this conversation referring e.g. to the war in Gaza)
• How practicing rituals is our birthright and we all get to define how we do it and what feels right for us 
• The history that has shaped rituals today - how some rituals were eliminated in the past as a result of colonialism and patriarchy 
• How each one of us can find our own way of practicing rituals
