Rituals - Shelby Wild

Founder of Playa

My first ritual of the day is...

"I generally wake at 7:30am and have a litre of water followed by coffee with coconut milk. We have a Ratio automated pour over machine which makes incredible coffee. I then sit outside on our deck and listen to the ocean for about 20 minutes before I begin my day at 8. "

My favorite ritual alone is...

"Listening to music and riding my bike down the beach path to Ado in Venice and treating myself to a glass of wine and pasta. "

My favorite ritual to destress is...

"To get a massage at home, leave the windows open, and listen to music. I generally don’t watch television, but if there is a good series available I will watch that and eat coconut ice cream with chocolate chip cookies instead. Both equally relaxing. "

My last ritual of the evening is...

"Before I sleep, I like to have a cup of Tulsi Rose tea with Moon Juice Sleep Dust while I read in bed. I am currently reading Hillbilly Elegy."

Whether a morning meditation or afternoon cup of tea, the rituals we practice serve us more than we realize. They are our life’s bookends, moments we rely on and enjoy. For mamas especially, these small ceremonies are what gets us through the day. At A Wild Dove, we are so inspired by rituals, that we’ve asked some of our favorite women to share their smallest, most celebrated acts that help them feel their best.

Rituals - Ruby Warrington

Founder of The Numinous and author of "Material Girl, Mystical World: The Now Age Guide to a High Vibe Life"

My first ritual of the morning is...

"20 minutes of Transcendental Meditation, followed by breakfast with my husband - hot water and  lemon, my special oatmeal (oats, chia seeds, hemp milk, He Shou Wu, Ashwaganda, Maca, with mashed banana and walnuts) and Harney & Sons Japanese Sencha green tea. "

My favorite ritual alone is...

"I try to remember to smudge my devices with Palo Santo every month. Email, text and social media means my phone and Mac are processing a ton of energy on a daily basis! And of course, dancing - wildly."

My last ritual of the day is...

"Reading a novel for 20 to 30 minutes. Currently "1984" (although I’m stalling at the torture scenes). Also, I charge all my crystals on the Full Moon. I have a back garden at my home in Brooklyn and I leave them outside on the night of the Full Moon."

Rituals - Angela Shore

Creator and Founder of Jiva-Apoha

My first ritual of the morning is...

"waking early and rising with immediate prayer and quiet time. I burn white sage, sweetgrass, palo santo and cedar - the combination for positive vibes and a whole lotta what "I’m grateful for." It allows me to plant myself and set good intentions for the day no matter where I am. It helps shift the flow of what’s needed in receiving and acknowledging the gifts."
