What is a Morning Altar?
A Morning Altar is an impermanent arrangement made from materials right outside your door.
Leaves, petals, stones, seeds.
You gather them.
You arrange them on the earth.
And for a moment, you practice being present, offering gratitude, and letting go.
Nature
Reconnect with the living world through what is already around you.
Creativity
No artistic skill required. Just curiosity and attention.
Ritual
A way to slow down, honor what matters, and remember that beauty can be enough.
Based on the book Morning Altars
I captured this practice in my book, Morning Altars—a guide to creating impermanent art in nature as a practice of letting go. The altars last minutes or hours before wind, rain, or footsteps return them to the earth. The beauty is in the making and the letting go.
Introducing
The Guided
Practice
An 8-week guided journey through the Morning Altars practice.
Each week, I guide you through one step of the practice with stories, reflections, and simple invitations to go outside, gather what the day offers, and create a small altar on the earth.
Leaves, petals, stones, seeds.
You arrange them. You pause.
And then you let the wind take it.
