Ceremony focuses attention so that attention becomes intention. (If you stand together and profess a thing before your community, it holds you accountable)

Ceremony is a vehicle for belonging - to a family, to a people, and to the land.

Ceremony, it marries the mundane to the sacred. The water turns to wine, the coffee to prayer. The material and the spiritual mingle like (coffee) grounds mingled with humus, transformed like steam rising from a mug into the morning mist.

What else can you offer the earth which has everything? What else can you give but something of yourself? A home made ceremony, a ceremony that makes a home.
— Robin Wall Kimmerer
Ceremonies transcend the boundaries of the individual and resonate beyond the human realm, These acts of reverence are powerfully pragmatic. These are ceremonies that magnify life.
— Charles Eisenstein
An earnst ceremonial practice is like a magnet that aligns more and more of life to its field; it is a prayer that asks ‘May I do everything with full attention, full care, and full respect for what it serves’."
— Charles Eisenstein
