Creating Family Ritual, a CUUPS Workshop led by Sherree Bailey and Aline Harris. Open to everyone.
We Southerners are all about family, but sometimes it can be hard to know what to do with your family within a Pagan or Heathen context. This workshop is to help all types of families (those with kids and those without) to create rich religious traditions tailored to them. In this workshop we will talk about the different types of rituals; this includes ‘everyday’ rituals such as meal blessings and weekly game nights, ‘holiday’ rituals such as giving Yule presents and planting trees on Earth Day, and ‘as needed’ rituals such as rites of passage and healing rituals. We will also define what makes something a ritual and how to make it effective to your family members. We will consider a ‘ritual recipe’ and discuss how it could be followed or adapted for personal use. In addition, we will address how rituals can change and grow over time as the family grows and changes.
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
1) identify rituals they already have in their lives
2) design and implement new rituals that fit their family and beliefs
3) understand how to adapt their family’s rituals as their family grows and changes.
