Our personal rituals form and shape the contours of our lives. From daily habits, to family traditions, to rites of passages, we all have rituals that express what we value, as well as give our lives meaning and purpose. Similarly, every spiritual tradition has rituals and practices that express a particular view of the world, what our place is in the universe, and what ultimately gives our life meaning and purpose. Each of these faiths is nurtured in a community that engage in the rituals that they believe connect people to the Divine.
