As the one year anniversary of pandemic quarantine approaches, how might we mark the occasion through ritual and reflection—in such a way that it's a moment not just of commemoration but of initiation? Unlike a traditional rite of passage, no one or group is holding this container for us, and so we are paradoxically tasked with being both initiates and guides as we move through the pandemic portal. I offer this piece in the hopes that it can help spark some experiential inquiry into how we go about doing that in the weeks and months ahead.
