Release the weight of the day every evening and let healing to flow through you during the night.
Wake to each new dawn in peace, clarity and trust, open to life as it moves freely through you.
These are some of the gifts of the River Ritual, a simple yet profound short guided journey designed to fit into busy modern lifestyles.
Created by Will Almando in 2025, the River Ritual is free and open for all to experience and share.
What Is the River Ritual?
The River Ritual is a short yet transformative guided journey done twice a day:
- Morning: Awaken to clarity, presence, and flow. Let thoughts and emotions pass through without clinging.
- Evening: Release the day to the River. Rest as an empty vessel, allowing healing and renewal to flow through you.
