The exception makes the rule

Everyday life is full of rituals that we practice individually, such as brushing our teeth in the morning, having an espresso after lunch, or posting on social media at the end of the day.
Everyday rituals nurture and shape our habits. It can be pleasurable to break their rules, for example during holidays or weekends, in order to subsequently feel the familiarity of everyday life and the usual worldly structures all the more intensely.
The communal rituals of indigenous peoples are not primarily intended to solidify familiarity with everyday world life, but rather to refresh and deeply feel the connection with the cosmic and cyclical rhythms of nature and with the community.
Worldwide, nature rituals are receiving renewed attention as a way to experience modern everyday life as part of the community, the natural world, and the entire cosmos. These rituals vary in their structure and use different objects depending on cultural background. However, one thing remains constant in all rituals: a ritual guides participants through a process and navigates the energies of those present, the entire group as a community, the natural world, and the cosmos. The intuition of the ritual leader senses what is no longer needed and can be released, perceives spaces that were previously uninhabited, and senses movements that lacked direction. INTUITION deliberately breaks the dictates of the respective ritual in order to intuitively find the natural and harmonious balance and thus establish peace through all levels of existence (individual, communal and cosmic).
Nature rituals were originally always passed down orally and through practical experience. First, one learned the exact procedure , then one learned dance the sequence and then one learned To dance freely to the rhythm of the cycles and the cosmos . That is natural intuition training.
