Welcome to the Elements of Ritual class. Here, you will find everything you need to create life rituals. We will examine the Universal Principles found in the Indigenous rituals of all the world’s cultures. There is a special emphasis on the traditions of the African diaspora.
Rituals are performed with a specific intention. They begin with a particular purpose, cause a change in perspective, and result in the transformations of life experience.
The intention may be to recognize and acclimate us to natural changes, such as a New or Full Moon ritual, to bring about a physical change, like healing our bodies, or to affect our emotional state, as in releasing grief and expressing joy.
Participants are encouraged to explore the rituals of their ancestral culture and connect with an affinity group. Yeye Teish provides guidelines and examples for designing sacred spaces, consulting oracles, interpreting symbols, making effective charms, and conducting rituals.
This course is designed for beginners. The class progresses as the spirit of the group requires. It provides the tools for developing your ritual practice, including an online classroom where you can share your experience. This enhances community building.
Recordings of the class content are available for review in case of late registration, an absence, or time zone differences. Kelly Beard, Our Shamanic astrologer, shares her wisdom of the stars to ensure that our work is done with the most favorable planetary support.
Although it is designed for beginners, this course invites experienced ritualists to review past knowledge and learn something new and different. Our last class is special. We will meet each other in real-time for a Summer Solstice Ritual on June 22nd.
