The WorkLife Minute: The Joy of Ritual in Business

Barbara Biziou has spent decades exploring spirituality from a practical perspective. She’s dedicated her work to “building a bridge between the material world and the inner need for sacredness.”

In her book, The Joy of Ritual: Spiritual Recipes to Celebrate Milestones, Ease Transitions, and Make Every Day Sacred, Biziou dreamily ties our inner and outer lives together toward meaning and purpose. A well known speaker on women and success, her material is thoughtful yet easily put to use in our 24/7 business marketplace.

Biziou celebrates our innate gifts to deal with transition in a graceful way by accentuating the positive through daily ritual. There are rituals for everything from cleansing old influences to setting new intentions for business, which is the topic in this WorkLife Minute. She addresses each ritual in terms of intention, timing, ingredients, and the recipe which offers a conscious step-by-step guide to creating the perfect atmosphere.

The Joy of Ritual is like a cookbook for personal transformation. The steps are simple to follow. Along with the modern day slant on ritual, Biziou offers the history of ancient cultures and customs which make for a more interesting and inspiring read than a typical self help book. I recently caught up with Barbara as she lead a ritual to open the T-Salon in New York City. You can reach Barbara at www.joyofritual.com.
