The Resilience Through Ritual Framework 

We work with businesses, organizations, and individuals to create nondenominational rituals, fostering greater connection and resilience.    Please reach out for a free consultation. 

​

In our work with clients, we use the Resilience Through Ritual methodology, a human-centered design process developed by Center for Ritual Design founder Betty Ray to co-create meaningful personalized rituals for organizations and individuals. The personalized nature of this framework allows us to customize each ritual for the specific needs and goals of the client while ensuring the client is completely engaged in the process.  ​

​

A six-step process 

The Resilience Through Ritual framework is a six-step process that uses human-centered design to help individuals, families, and organizations better navigate difficult dynamics -- a practice that is shown to deepen resilience by building agency, belonging, meaning, and purpose.  With ritual, we can reframe our relationship to even our most vexing challenges so that we can live with more freedom, patience, and connectedness. 

​

The six steps of the framework are: 

​​​

1. Clarify Intention: What is the transition you're undertaking, and what are some outcomes you want to design for? 

2. Identify Symbols: Ritual is most impactful when it speaks to the unconscious. In this step, we will  identify those symbols and metaphors that are most meaningful to you and your organization so that we can intentionally incorporate them to connect to this deeper place in the participants.

3. Design Your Ritual: Using the intentions, stories, and symbols as our guide, we collaborate to ideate and refine ideas for rituals that fit in with existing practices and processes. 

4. Plan Logistics: We work with you to ensure that all production details are taken care of so that all participants can focus on enacting the ritual with full presence and no distraction.  

5. Enactment: The ritual itself -- the three stages of separation, liminality, and incorporation. 

6. Reflect and Integrate: We connect with participants to understand the impact of the ritual experience and identify practices to carry forward the benefits.
