A sand ritual is a beautiful way to blend two individuals into one family.

In this ritual sand is poured into a vessel, the sand represents the individuality each person brings to the relationship.

Once individual layers have been poured, sand is then poured jointly (blended) which represents unity and once mixed like a grain of sand cannot be separated.

If the ceremony includes children it’s nice for them to be involved and they can have their own colour to symbolise inclusion in the family.
