1. Create sacred space
Light a candle or create altars to each of the four directions. The ways in which we create the sacred or intentional space need not be elaborate nor limited by the imagination. |
|
2. Declare your intention
Your intention is the WHY behind the ritual. Intentions can be clear-cut: to celebrate the birth of a child or to release a fear. Other times we can come together for one reason like celebrating a milestone birthday, while the truer intention - the underlying intention - is to build community. |

3. Do it!
The actions you take during a ritual are called symbolic acts. These fulfill your intention and meet your need. For instance, to release a fear you could write it on a slip of paper and burn it. Or wash it away. Or bury it. Choosing what speaks to you is what makes personalized ritual such a powerful practice. |
|
4. Close your sacred space and return to ordinary life
The hero’s journey doesn’t end when she wins the prize – the journey ends when she returns home with it! It is important to consciously end your sacred time when your work is done and transition gently back into ordinary time mindfully. When you pay close attention to all four of these aspects, your ceremonies and rituals have a deep and abiding impact. |

“Suddenly I could see how a person could own ritual, and fiercely make it their own.
You could have ritual so infused with meaning that it spoke volumes about the person.I was blown away.”
-Pam Teitlebaum

When practices from the past don’t speak to you anymore (or maybe weren’t there in the first place), bu the longing for them is still there ...
... You may still long for magic, to know yourself better, to move intentionally through your life, and celebrate it!
My name is Deborah Globus, and I am La Padre. When I was 18, I got together a group of friends and we celebrated the first day of summer and chased away all the mosquitoes in the backyard. Ever since that night I’ve been creating and officiating personalized rituals that meet the emotional needs of myself and others.
If you are looking for beautiful and creative ways to navigate, articulate and share the milestones and transitions in your life, you’ve come to the right place.
