The Book of Uncommon Rituals (forthcoming series) is an adventurous collection of original submissions from practitioners from all over the world, spanning a wide range of spiritual paths and no spiritual path.
For this series, we are collecting:
- Rituals that go beyond traditional spiritual or religious practice
- Rituals that mark life changes
- Rituals that deepen personal meaning and bring communities together
- Rituals aimed at cultivating virtues like mindfulness, gratitude, or compassion
- Rituals around experiences for which we often lack cultural ways to celebrate, connect, or grieve
Designed as a resource for people who find themselves outside of established traditions, The Book of Uncommon Rituals will be a published collection of rituals to mark life’s key moments, from celebrations of love and new life to acknowledgements of profound loss. This series holds an expansive vision of what ritual is and what it can be, and its framework is God-optional.
