Ritual as an invitation to get present

with Dorothy Zablah

Welcome to the last episode of ‚Pioneer Spirit & Mainstream Thoughts‘ podcast in 2023. This podcast is about transformational leadership/entrepreneurship, communication, and co-creation. 

In this episode, Stephanie is having a conversation with Dorothy Zablah - Experiential learning designer and consultant for systemic change. 

They talk about: 

  • Rituals as medicine – How rituals can support us through difficult times (in this conversation referring e.g. to the war in Gaza)

  • How practicing rituals is our birthright and we all get to define how we do it and what feels right for us 

  • The history that has shaped rituals today - how some rituals were eliminated in the past as a result of colonialism and patriarchy 

  • How each one of us can find our own way of practicing rituals 

*Note. This episode includes a grounding practice led by Dorothy from 5.40 to 10.13. We invite you to join us!
