The topic is Metaphorical living: Rituals and symbols that mark and hold life/soul transitions

We'll draw on extracts from singer and teacher Chloe Goodchild's The Naked Voice, priest and theatre director James Roose Evans's book Passages of the soul: Ritual today and Benedictine and Celtic scholar Esther de Waal's The Celtic way of prayer, recovery of the religious imagination.

Please bring and/or describe a ritual, symbol, image, simple action, song (be it traditional or bespoke) that has held and helped you through a particular passage or transition.
