Ideas for Rituals:

Mixing of sands: Two different colors of sand are brought in separate bottles, during the ceremony they're mixed, which takes a little while and then is nearly impossible to separate. The mixed sand is kept as the Wedding Sands.

Smudging: Smudging is the burning of certain herbs to create a cleansing smoke bath, which is used to purify people, ceremonial and ritual space, and ceremonial tools and objects.

Sedona, Arizona and the Grand Canyon
