About
Rituals honour that which is universal to us all. They provide us with a container in which we have an opportunity to create a moment for emotion, reflection, transition and celebration, offering us a way to celebrate not only the big transitions – like birth, love and death – but also bringing meaning to our day to day rhythms, regardless of the values or beliefs we hold. From sharing food to celebrating anniversaries, entering adulthood or embracing parenthood, rituals are fundamental to how we make meaning and afford us the tools to punctuate our lives whether we are starting a new chapter or letting go of something that has come to an end.
When it comes to the idea of “home”, rituals can help us transform a space into a sanctuary and a house into a home – and in the age of the refugee crisis, the digital nomad and the volatile housing market, we might all benefit from the creation of our own 21st century rituals to generate a sense of home to ground us, support us and afford us a place to rest in an ever changing landscape.
In this talk, part of the Fitzrova Chapel's Dwelling exhibition, Tiu de Haan, ritual designer and creative facilitator, explores our ability to create our own secular rituals that inform our sense of rootedness, comfort and belonging.
