The Power of Ritual with Tracee Stanley on “Expanding Inward” Podcast hosted by Lily Macfarlane
In this episode I sit down with Tracee Stanley to talk about the what, why and how of rituals. We explore how rituals help unearth our most sacred selves and connect us to a sense of wholeness and belonging. This episode is great for those who are looking for a way to bring the sacred back into their busy lives.
In this episode we talk about:
True nature as something we uncover rather than build, the work as undoing, not adding
Why ritual asks a willingness to change
The difference between a habit and a ritual
Earth mapping, moon cycles and three simple pauses a day to connect with nature
Connecting to ancestral roots through food, seeds, music and the dream space
Building and tending an ancestral altar, and why a new moon is a lovely place to begin
Reframing discipline as devotion, and devoting yourself to one thing rather than everything
Tracee's book, Living Ritual, offers micro rituals, larger rituals, and self-inquiry prompts to weave into the day, growing the divine fabric of our lives and creating a shawl that nurtures, protects, and heals - not only ourselves but the collective.
