Ritual and sacred practice is an essential part of the Earthly experience. Throughout human history, we have been able to trace the thread of sacred rites and rituals that mark pivotal experiences. Earth cycles such as solstices and equinoxes, harvest and the rains, were traditionally honored with ceremony. Human events such as birth, naming, rites of passage and death, were also ritualized and held sacred.

Other animals practice ritual as well: dolphins, corvids (crows, magpies, ravens), chimpanzees and elephants, among others, hold ritual honoring births and deaths of family members.

Why is ritual essential to our human experience? How does this reflect in a culture bereft of sacred ceremony? How can we incorporate more sacred practice into our lives?
