Exploring Rituals In Our Lives

Facilitated by Jackie Baritell, LMFT 32758


“…rituals can simultaneously connect us with our common humanity and with our own unique path in life.”
Imber-Black and Roberts Rituals for Our Times

This class is based on the book Rituals for Our Times. Through readings, discussion and experiential exercises, inner exploration and creative expression, participants will explore:

what ritual means; purposes of rituals; types of rituals; how rituals have shaped who we are in our cultures, families & relationships; rituals we have maintained through our lives; how rituals have changed through our life changes and circumstances; which rituals no longer serve us; and creating new rituals.

Through the four class meetings and on their own, participants will create a personal rituals journal. We will meet four Saturdays over nine months. In the first meeting each participant will receive a gently used copy of Rituals for Our Times, a journal for writing and art and an overview of the class and resources. Class meetings will be part discussion; part quiet personal time for inner work and creative expression; and part sharing (always optional).

“Jackie Baritell’s workshops are excellent. To attend them is to benefit greatly from her years of experience and her authentic, loving personality.”
-Claudia Locsin, LMFT
