Voting Ritual
by Hannah Arin
This voting ritual, designed for group or individual use, sets a strong intention to benefit all those whom your vote will affect: those whose voices are not heard, those you love, the bridge builders, the leaders, and your own many facets. When you lead this ritual with a group, you may want someone to introduce it along the lines of this call to remember that we are never alone.
