Our event starts at 11 am on the 2nd floor of the Koffler House (569 Spadina Avenue)
Ritual can be found in all living species and since time immemorial, rituals of one kind or another can be identified in human civilizations. Rituals play an important role in society. Rituals remind us of what is important and provide a sense of stability and continuity in our lives. However, our modern society doesn’t always include formalized or consistent rituals to mark events or the passage of time.
This week’s discussion will explore the idea of ritual in our lives. What is ritual? Why is it important? How do you think about or experience ritual in your life? What kind of ritual(s) do we have in our Oasis community? How as an Oasis community do we think about ritual?
You are invited to think about ritual this week. What rituals are important to you and why?
Martin Frith will be our discussion leader. Martin is a founding member of Toronto Oasis and in his personal and professional life wears many hats. As a Humanist Officiant, he has led public rituals marking, births, deaths, marriages and separations. As a therapist, he has worked with individuals, couples, families and organizations to use ritual to manage transitions.
