Journal Entry

Write about a time when you felt deeply connected to others through shared experience or practice. How might creating or participating in communal rituals foster a sense of belonging for you?

Creative Expression

Draw a simple map of your morning ritual, highlighting each step with personal symbols or affirmations. For example, sipping tea might be represented as a flame for warmth, or journaling might be a tree symbolizing growth. Reflect on how the sequence of actions sets an intentional tone for the day.

Morning Intentions

Create a daily morning ritual that involves lighting a candle or sitting quietly with a warm beverage. Set an intention for the day, such as cultivating gratitude, resilience, or mindfulness. Try incorporating a symbolic action, like journaling or reciting an affirmation, to center yourself in liminal space before stepping into the day.
