You've having a tough time with something and you're wondering if a ritual might help. Well, I've got almost 30 years of using rituals to help myself and others make life run more smoothly. And I want to help!

Let's get together and:
  • talk about where you're at
  • pinpoint your underlying needs
  • brainstorm symbolic actions
  • review the ritual format and decide on the best way to bring your ritual to life​
​
​Afterwards, I'll write it all up for you in a beautiful, image-rich PDF that'll give you step-by-step directions for your personalized ritual.

First, Let's Talk About Ritual

A ritual (or ceremony) is a way of marking a transition from one state of being to another.  What kind of transitions?  Well, there’re the ones you already know – single to married or pregnancy to motherhood.  

Then there are less obvious ones: confusion to clarity, less committed to more committed.

Ritual is the methodology of how you transition from the state of being that you’re at to a more desirable one.

Ritual is the bridge between how you feel now and how you want to feel.

​Every religion and culture has ceremonies.  In my many years of walking my own spiritual path I’ve found that the preset ceremonies within existing religions are very general…and our needs very specific.

There may not be a specific ritual that fulfills your emotional need in the way you’d like it to be fulfilled.  At times like those I take Elizabeth Gilberts words to heart:

“And I do believe that if your culture or tradition doesn’t have the specific ritual you are craving, then you are absolutely permitted to make up a ceremony of your own devising, fixing your own broken-down emotional systems with all the do-it-yourself resourcefulness of a generous plumber/poet.” 


Rituals allow deep needs to be filled in a way that could not happen in any other way.

I’ve done several of Deborah’s rituals and they have all had deep and profound effects on my life. I felt things changing even as I set up my sacred space. By following Deborah’s clear, kind, and easy-to-do steps I found the issues I was wrestling with shift and change, giving me new insights. I felt the pain and struggle lift out and I finished the rituals feeling so much better, with hope for the future and tools I can return to again and again.

What can ritual help with?

Some of the rituals I've helped create as La Padre have helped people to:
  • release wounds of the past and move ahead with their dreams
  • gently bring closure to toxic relationships
  • bless a new office or business
  • hold focus during work time
  • aid in sound sleep
  • ​conceive
  • bless a new home 
  • heal damaged family relationships
  • begin new practices
  • keep peace at home (even while living with a teenager!)
  • come to terms with a divorce/break up
  • open themselves up to new love
  • set intentions for personal retreats
  • cope with MRIs and other medical procedures
  • let go of outdated behaviors
  • mourn the loss of loved ones
  • neutralize the effects of a troublesome person
  • increase prosperity
  • forgive themselves (would you like to see what a ritual write-up looks like? Click here.)
Personalized ritual is all about you.  It's about what you need.  It’s about what’s important to you.  It’s about your emotional needs and it’s about getting those needs met, deeply and fully. 

Working together we’ll create a ritual that does all that.  We’ll uncover your needs, come up with just the right actions to take, plan out create sacred space that makes your heart sing, and bring it all together into a ritual that flows. 

​And in the end you’ll have your ritual write-up - a step-by-step guide to follow as you perform your very own ritual!

The thing is, it’s too easy to get tuned into TV and tabloids that strive to guide our thoughts and, in doing so, turn away from the natural, the soulful, and the visceral that should and could guide us – and do, as soon as we let them.

What I love about the rituals Deb has created – and taught me to create for myself! – is how they bring me back to earth. My brain, my body, and heart reconnect and I once again feel whole. I say the words, hold my token or talisman, and once again feel joined. Like, to everything. These rituals are the way home from places I end up wandering into where I find I don’t wanna be.

La Padre (and the huge heart and creativity behind it) has been such a source of healing, peace, and inspiration. I used to be rather leery of the word "ritual," but Deborah Globus has helped me understand ritual in a completely different, extremely helpful way.
