Having rituals in our lives can be really nourishing, particularly in times of grief.  They can help us in bringing the unseen into our consciousness and,  from here give us an opportunity us to honor, express and release what we are holding inside. 

‘ When a woman is at home in her wildness, rooted in her instincts, and attuned to the voice of her deepest knowing, she is a formidable presence… (and) thunders after injustice’ Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Women Who Run with the Wolves.
