Description
A set sequence of activities involving gestures, words, actions, or objects, performed according to a prescribed order. These are often imbued with symbolic meaning and are used to express or connect to spiritual beliefs, values, or intentions. Rituals can be personal or communal and are usually intended to create a sacred space, invoke a sense of presence with the divine or the universe, and to foster a deepened state of consciousness or transformation. They can be part of established religious practices or personalized, eclectic practices that individuals create for their own spiritual development.
