In this conversation, Megan and Christina explore the intersection of story, circle, and ritual as foundational practices for navigating life. Christina shares insights from decades of teaching circle practice and the power of holding stories, as well as everyday rituals that help us build our capacity for ceremonial presence.
Together, they discuss how to step into leadership when ritual is called for, and how to reimagine ceremony for contemporary life. Whether you’re new to ritual or an experienced practitioner, this conversation offers practical wisdom for weaving more ceremony into the moments that matter most.
In a time when many of us feel disconnected from meaningful practices, this conversation offers a pathway back to intentional living. We’ve largely lost the art of ritual in modern life, leaving us ill-equipped when we face life’s inevitable transitions, griefs, and transformations.
Christina Baldwin reminds us that ritual isn’t reserved for major life events or religious ceremonies; it’s a muscle we can strengthen through everyday practices. By reclaiming the simple ceremonies that mark our days, we prepare ourselves to meet the profound moments with presence and grace.
