Today I want to talk about Rituals… specifically Flower Rituals…Rituals are important as they provide a sense of stability, connection, and meaning in both personal and communal life by giving structure to daily routines, marking life's transitions, and reinforcing cultural and spiritual values. Rituals can even help individuals cope with anxiety, build community, and connect with a sense of belonging to something larger than themselves. I think Flower can play an even bigger part when it comes to Rituals… let’s talk Flower Rituals today on Behind the Bloom!
