| | Dolores LaChapelle - Ritual is Essential |
 | | What we call their "ritual and ceremony" was a sophisticated social and spiritual technology, refined through many thousands of years of experience, that maintained their relationship much more successfully than we are. |
 | | Ritual is essential because it is truly the pattern that connects. |
 | | Most important of all, perhaps, during rituals we have the experience, unique in our culture, of neither opposing nature or trying to be in communion with nature; but of finding ourselves within nature, and that is the key to sustainable culture. |
