I really appreciate this idea of spontaneity and habitat around rituals, particularly because I find myself more devoid of time than ever with a baby. But also, although I love the idea of ritual in community and still want to pursue it when it is possible, I feel like I have permission to do this individually however I want or feel it. Coming immediately to mind is our dried out Christmas tree that I unceremoniously threw out the front door a few weeks ago when I had exactly 15 minutes to disassemble it. What a tidy, small bonfire it would make, maybe with some of the leftover herbs that were gifted to me postpartum sprinkled in. I’m sure I could find some meaning in that. Thanks for the inspiration. xo Bethany
Ahhh...Yes! I love this dual image of you chucking out the tree and creating a tidy fire to share your herbs with. So beautiful. There is a deeply sacred gesture in making noble what we have at-hand. Thank you for sharing along. xo

Beautiful...I always wonder where you go with that basket...and what you do when you get there!
You can come next time. xo
