Part Three · Recorded 24 August 2026
Ceremonial artistry and ancestral mindfulness
Karo Munay
Gestalt Psychotherapist. Ceremonialist. Artivist
In this transmission
- A guided practice in ancestral mindfulness — saying your name, naming your grandparents, and why that settles the nervous system
- Why ceremony and ritual are not the same thing, and how something with a beginning, a middle and a close organises what would otherwise be chaos
- Ceremonial artistry: your own life as the canvas, and beauty as the thing that orients you
- Rites of passage — the ones every culture marks, the ones the West quietly dropped, and how to hold your own
- The other side of beauty: grief, rage, and an elder's teaching about collecting tears as an offering
