Good Intentions: Reclaiming Ritual

reclaiming-ritual

Humans are by nature inclined to repeat their practices. It keeps us calm, builds confidence and assures us of who we are. We challenge, question, encourage and participate in the activities that lift us up and fill our cup. This is ritual.

The way we live our lives is based on our deeply-held values which have evolved through kinship, memory markers and our desire for what’s to come. Ritual is creating patterns and rhythms, rites of passage and process. Sometimes alone for deep nourishment, growth and healing and sometimes with your people for tomfoolery, conviviality and another point of view. They are repetitious and cathartic.

This is our waste-free issue of Pip Magazine.
We have articles on reducing waste in the kitchen, we look at how to keep waste-free pets and how to reduce the waste of our most precious resource, water.
The whale on the cover represents the animals that will benefit from us choosing to reduce waste in our lives.
We also have lots of info about growing food including how to grow food that is nutrient dense, a guide to growing potatoes and a feature on some great herbal teas you can grow yourself.
We look at environmental guilt and how to manage it and we also get back to basics and go through Bill Mollison’s permaculture principles explaining them and how to implement them into your life. And for those who are a bit crafty, we have some patterns for winter woolen knits and crochets.
All this and much more in issue 14 of Pip magazine.
