Live Ritualistically — Bring sacred intention into ordinary acts. Infuse daily life with intention. Turning ordinary acts—like eating or walking—into sacred rituals that can ground you in the present moment.

Ritual prevents the ordinary from dissolving into invisibility. If you light a candle at dinner, the meal becomes an event. If you walk at the same time each day, it becomes more than exercise. Anthropologists will tell you that rituals function as technologies of attention: certain ordinary acts aren’t trivial, they’re the architecture of meaning.
