October 14th ~ Rites of Release: Crafting rituals for ourselves and our community

from £20.00

From 7pm-9pm GMT

Crafting Ritual Series 3 of 3

In this three part series across the year, learn how you can build a personal and unique approach to crafting public and private ceremonies for your community and your field.

Across the three classes, Hannah Sanders will help you build your own personal approach, from working collaboratively, finding the right place, honouring the spirits of place and creating a meaningful and transformative ritual.

The third part in this series explores how to craft Rites of Release. Rituals of release allow us to navigate endings, and periods of change. All living things must decay and die to allow new growth to flourish, and so rites of letting go, whether casting away the old year, an old habit, grieving the end of a relationship or a long help wish allows us to heal and move forward with renewed passion and power. For our communities, rituals of release help us mark the end of life, the end of relationships and the end of ventures. Crafting rituals to say goodbye, acknowledging the life that was and facilitating the flow of grief brings strength and comfort to those in need. Without symbollic and imaginative rituals of ending, space for resentment, despair and regret is left open.

Whether you’ve been asked to conduct a divorce ritual for a friend, or are helping a community in a collective act of commemoration or are creating a solemn seasonal rite of release in the winter months there are numerous opportunities for our communities to be renewed, strengthening bonds with all the kingdoms of life within the land.

In this class we will explore how folklore and custom gives us a wealth of creative material to allow us to craft meaningful ceremonial experiences for small and large groups.

You will learn:

  • The forms of releasing ritual: commemoration, remembrance, death, separation and release

  • Envisioning time in ritual

  • Harnessing the elemental powers for release - fire, water, earth

  • Substances of release ~ the magics of salt and coin

  • Symbolic tools and their use and function in ritual context

  • Soul midwifery, helping others get to the next phase

This series is created for people who are developing their magical work to be in deeper service to the outer community in their field. It is however, open to all.
