This is beautiful, thank you. The word hope has always been important to me, and I love your definition of it. My nightly skincare routine is also a way to take care of myself after a day of taking care of others! It's a moment to pause. Thanks for making me think about the word ritual in a different way.
Beautiful 😊 I've been thinking a lot anojr ritual lately, how critical it is to our individual wellbeing and to social cohesion, but also how it can go askew. Love this essay, thank you for sharing
thank you, bronwen! yeah right? i really liked cultish’s focus on the role language plays in how ritual can go eskew, it feels pretty layered which is nice in the internet age hah!
Totally! I actually have Cultish on my TBR. I saw her on a documentary about that kundalini studio / cult n LA and India, Breath of Fire I think it's called, have you seen it? I found it fascinating, think you'd enjoy (enjoy is the wrong word given its a cult and ppl were exploited but you know what I mean 😄)
