MODULE 2-Ceremonies & Rituals
There comes a moment when the soil of your life must be turned—
not to destroy what was,
bur to make room for what wishes to grow.
This ceremony honors the sacred act of renewal:
a choice to loosen the hardened places,
to lay to rest what no longer serves,
and to prepare the soil of your being for new life.
Purpose: To release what has run its course and consciously prepare for new beginnings—honoring endings as fertile ground rather than failure.
Use: At times of transition, closure, or rebirth—when a relationship, project or phase of life has completed its cycle, and you are ready to cultivate something new.
Steps:
Gather a small bowl of soil, sand, or earth (fromqoutside if possible).
Sit quietly and reflect on what has reached completion in your life. name it silently.
With your fingers, gently stir or turn the soil in the bowl as you say:
“I honor what has been. I loosen what has hardened. I make room for what wishes to grow.”
As you continue to move the soil, imagine energy shifting within you—roots release, space opening.
Take a deep breath and exhale slowly, envisioning the breath itself tilling the inner ground.
When ready, smooth the soil flat again with your palm, whispering:
“May new life find me ready.”
Leave the bowl on your altar or windowsill for one full day and night before returning the soil to the earth.
Condensed Version:
I honor what has been.
I loosen what has hardened.
I make room for what wishes to grow.
May new life find me ready.
