Joyful Courage for Parenting Teens

Eps 541: New Years Rituals with Karen Collins


Listen Later

My guest today is Karen Collins, and we’re talking about creating rituals, especially at the new year. We discuss what rituals are and how to use the near year’s energy as a reset. Karen shares some practices from a recent retreat, including an embodiment exercise, then shares her own new year’s ritual. We talk about setting intention for the year with anchoring words and wrap up on sustaining the work of ritual in chaotic, day-to-day life.


Takeaways from the show

  • What are rituals?  
  • What’s the difference between a ritual versus something you just do sometimes?
