Writers. Thinkers. Doers.
The Ritual is NOW LIVE on KICKSTARTER!
Help bring a new kind of reflective practice into the world.
WHAT IS THE RITUAL?
The Ritual is a guided reflection practice for writers, thinkers, and doers who not only want to write about their experiences, but return to them, analyze them, and uncover who they are becoming over time.
WHAT WRITERS ARE EXPERIENCING ...
Meet the Founder
This work was born out of Dr. McClish-Boyd's need to slow down, get honest, and find a way to think and create without losing herself. What started as survival became a practice that she now shares.
As a scholar, researcher, and university professor whose life's work is about one thing: how people story their lives and do meaningful work without losing themselves in the process, Dr. McClish-Boyd developed Endarkened Narrative Inquiry (ENI) - a research methodology built on the belief that who you are and the work you do cannot be separated. Her upcoming book (Routledge) brings that framework to a wider audience.
Sienna & Slate is where that scholarship becomes something you can hold, use, and live. Start with a journal. Go as far as you're ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS THE REFLECTION GUIDE?
The Reflection Guide is a companion booklet filled with curated prompts designed to help you deepen your reflection and explore different themes throughout the year.
WHAT MAKES THE RITUAL DIFFERENT?
The Ritual combines thoughtful prompts, open writing space, and intentional design to help you move beyond recording your day and toward understanding your experiences. It's a reflection practice, not a productivity tool.
WHO IS THE RITUAL FOR?
The Ritual was created for writers, thinkers, creators, professionals, caregivers, and anyone looking for a meaningful way to reflect. Whether you're beginning a journaling practice or returning to one, The Ritual meets you where you are.
I'VE NEVER JOURNALED BEFORE. IS THIS FOR ME?
Yes. The prompt booklet does the hard part of getting started. You don't need to know what to write -- just light the candle, open to today's prompt, and let it lead you in. Some days you'll write three words. Some days three pages. Both count.
