Citizenship — Search Ritual by Tag

There is beauty everywhere, to those with an appreciative mindset. This includes the wonderful things present in our local community that we may overlook or take for granted.

This ritual is about extending an appreciative mindset to your community, showing friends and neighbors that there are good things to be found right under our noses if we take the time to look. It is also a ritual that brings people together, forming and strengthening bonds.

Building community can be a key to personal wellbeing, too. When we gather with our community, we are building bonds that help us experience fun and belonging. These bonds may serve us and others when unexpected events happen, like the pandemic of 2020.
