Choose from two core workshops, or get in touch to shape something specific.
It was at the same time luxuriously indulgent and practically useful.
It flowed effortlessly, and felt warm, safe and welcoming from the start. It easily got across how ritual doesn't need to seem weird, esoteric or mystical – it’s just a practical human tool to focus in on what's important.

Understanding Rituals

To design a ritual is to take responsibility for meaning
How to Design Rituals
Ritual Design is about shaping the conditions for something meaningful to happen
How To Design Rituals is an entry point into the creative work of ritual design.
Through design challenges, enactment, and applied methodology you’ll learn how to respond to the moment through ritual.
​
You’ll leave with practical tools, shared language, and hands-on experience in designing and enacting ritual.
Who it's for
​
Teams and collaborators who want to design rituals as part of their work. This is for you if you already understand the value of ritual, and want to develop your creative abilities.
​
What you’ll leave with
​
-
A grasp on how to design rituals - and when to do it
​
-
Tools for clarifying intention, needs and context
​
-
A feel for structure, rhythm, and the elements that bring a ritual to life
​​​
-
Confidence in moving from idea to ritual enactment
​
-
Progress on a relevant ritual design for your own practice
What we’ll do
​
We’ll explore how rituals are designed: how they take shape in response to real needs, and what the process of creating them can look like.
​
Our exploration is grounded in:
​​
-
​Experience of ritual design and ritual enactment
​​
-
Meeting your lived needs for ritual
​​
-
Design principles and relevant methodology
​​
​This is a hands-on experience. You’ll be designing and enacting rituals as we go, including one you can carry into your own work after the workshop. All the rituals we shape in the workshop are there to meet lived, present needs - beginning with the co-creation of our opening ritual.
​
The half-day version of this workshop offers a strong foundation.
The full-day version gives us time to go deeper, with more feedback, testing, and refinement of your ritual designs. It also opens space for a more dialogue-centered way of being together.

Viktor's workshop is the perfect blend of practical application and conceptual learning.
Over a fairly short space of time I learned about the essential components of ritual and how to apply them in a way that untangles the difficulty, confusion and stuckness that inevitably shows up in life.
The process he takes you through is gentle but very direct, uncovering way more than just a toolkit for designing rituals, but new insights on what it is to be a human being.

FAQ
What are these workshops about?
These workshops introduce ritual as a grounded, creative way to bring more presence, clarity, and meaning into how we work together. You explore what rituals are and gain lived experience in designing and enacting them.
​
Who are they for?
They are designed for teams and communities who care about meaning making and how people come together. Understanding Rituals is open to all, with no prior knowledge needed. How to Design Rituals is ideal if you already have experience with ritual or process facilitation and want to deepen your design skills.
​
How do I learn to design rituals?
In the Understanding Rituals workshop, you explore the main qualities of ritual, how ritual affects us, and when rituals are useful. You come away with lived experience and a clearer sense of what ritual can do.
​
In the How to Design Rituals workshop, we take it further. You learn how to clarify the intention behind a ritual, understand its context, and apply core design principles in creating its form.
How long are the sessions?
Workshops are offered as half-day sessions. How to Design Rituals also comes in a full-day version, which includes more time for feedback and development of your own designs.
Can we customize the workshop?
Yes. You can book one of the core offers, or we can design a bespoke session around a specific theme or need. Workshops are available online or in person, and the format is shaped to suit your group.
Ritual is not a thing.
It’s a way of doing things
Bespoke
Workshops
Sometimes the work calls for a more focused approach. A bespoke workshop lets us meet a specific need or explore a theme that is important to your group.
​
This is for you if you want to go deep in one direction, rather than explore the broader field of ritual design.
​
In the past, this has mainly taken the form of workshops at conferences and workshop festivals, around themes like How to Design Rituals for Leadership Programmes or Rituals for Mindful Relationship Building.
​
​
How it works
​​
All you need to do is reach out, and we’ll start a conversation.
​
Good conditions for this kind of collaboration are clarity on what you want, and enough time for me to engage in proper research and prototyping.
​
Ritual gives us access to ways of knowing that don’t come from thinking alone
Long-term Journey
For teams and communities who want to go further.
​
How it works
​
We begin by clarifying the needs you want to centre the journey around, including what skills you want to develop.
​
From there, I design a process that combines the fundamentals of ritual design with elements tailored to your wishes.​​
​
What it might look like
​
We meet weekly for two-hour sessions. Between sessions, you develop your ritual designs, explore, and deepen your practice. Each session combines teaching, reflection, and hands-on design work.
