Rituals to Deepen Love

Practicing rituals can deepen your appreciation of life. Not only do these practices strengthen self-love, but sharing them with another person can also increase your connection. Rituals are a matter of individual preference and can take many forms, such as enjoying a morning coffee, feeding a neighbourhood cat, or reflecting on what you're grateful for at the end of the day. To help inspire you, here are some ideas for rituals that you can share with yourself or a loved one.
