ritual/distraction is a creative non-fiction zine about mental health, softness, accountability and acceptance. It’s broken up into eight parts: burn, plant, consume, preserve, soak, map, externalise, and feel.
Distraction has two faces; it can be grounding in a crisis, or create apathy in a rut. A ritual can be nourishing, cleansing, pleasurable or generous – it can also be destructive. Do what feels right, and check if it still feels right the next time.
You can read further excerpts and buy this zine over on the Head Desk website, where I host my mental health related projects.
