Practicing togetherness: Ceremonial objects aiming to increase presence and consciousness in families with small children

Abstract [en]

I have worked together with three Swedish families with small children, focusing on their intrinsic goals as a way to increase well-being in their everyday life. 

I have designed ceremonial objects for the families to use to create their own ceremony, as a way to practice togetherness by being more present in the moment. These objects are made in a do-it-yourself manner so that other people can make their own objects from the instructions. 

By practicing togetherness people can have an entry way for focusing more on what they actually want and need, on a personal level, but it could also cause a ripple effect and support a more sustainable society, both socially and environmentally.
