Rosemary at the door

A fragrant reminder to leave the weight of the day outside your dwelling.

What you’ll need

  • A fresh sprig of rosemary
  • A small vase or jar
  • Water

The ritual

  1. Place the rosemary in a little water beside your entrance, out of reach of children and pets.
  2. Take a moment to choose what you would like to leave behind at the end of the day.
  3. As you enter, pause for one breath and name what you want to bring inside instead.
  4. Refresh the water regularly. Compost the sprig when it begins to fade.
