Ritual Practice

Take a sheet of paper and draw a simple tree trunk. With a pen, intentionally add 'knots' along its length—each representing a past challenge you've overcome. Light a candle, hold the paper to the flame (safely above a bowl of water) until the edges char slightly, then extinguish it in the water. Let it dry as a testament to transformation.

Questions for Reflection

"What challenges have made you stronger?"
"How do you perceive the complexity of your identity?"
