A RITUAL for RETURNING, TOGETHER.
ONLINE RITUAL GATHERING
There is something that happens in a room
full of people who have all, quietly,
been looking for the same thing.
Without knowing it. Without having met.
This gathering is that room.
WHAT THIS IS
This is a guided online ritual.
Not something to watch,
but something to experience.
Through reflection, simple symbolic actions, and quiet presence,
you will be invited to reconnect with yourself in a meaningful and intentional way.
WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE
During this gathering, you will be guided through:
an exploration what “ritual” can mean in a modern, secular context
a calm and intentional space to slow down
simple ritual actions to release and reconnect
optional sharing and human connection
No experience is needed.
People often leave with:
a sense of calm and grounding
a feeling of connection — to themselves and to others
a new perspective on how meaning can exist in ordinary moments
a simple practice they can return to in daily life
WHO THIS IS FOR
This gathering may be for you if:
you feel a bit disconnected from yourself
you’ve been moving through life without pausing
you’re longing for more meaning or clarity
you want to reconnect in a simple, grounded way
This is a space open to people of all genders.

THE RITUAL PLACE was created by Iris Carta.
Iris has been designing and leading rituals for seven years, for individuals, groups, and organisations navigating moments of transition, loss, celebration, and quiet longing for meaning.
She has a background in the performing arts: dance, acrobatics, theatre.
In 2020, she completed a postgraduate in contemporary ritual design at the University of Humanistic Studies in Utrecht (The Netherlands).
Half Flemish (Belgium), half Sardinian (Italy), she has spent much of her life between cultures, between cities, between worlds, touring Europe as an artist, travelling widely as a curious soul, and learning that belonging is not a place you find but a quality of attention you bring.
She lives between Antwerp and a piece of forest land in Flanders, where she is building the future physical home of The Ritual Place.
Her work is rooted in a simple belief: nothing in you was broken. It was just forgotten. And when we bring genuine attention to the small, ordinary moments of daily life, something quietly shifts. The sacred was there all along, woven into the fabric of the everyday. And with that recognition comes a feeling of being at home in your own existence.
“Presence without agenda. Companionship without cure.”
Iris - founder of The Ritual Place
