What the Days Know

You went to bed with intention.The morning had other plans.

This isn't a discipline problem. It isn't a willpower problem. And it is not your fault.

What the Days Know gives you two small thresholds to cross, every single day for three weeks: one to open the morning, one to close the evening. Not another habit to maintain.

A practice to return to, no matter what state you're in.

By the end of three weeks, you'll know how to make any ordinary day feel anchored.

JOIN THE PROGRAM
This is for you if:
  • You set intentions the night before and lose them by 9am.

  • You feel like you're always catching up with your own life.

  • You want a practice, not another productivity system.

  • You've tried morning routines that felt like punishment.

  • You feel quietly disconnected from a sense of meaning or roots, and don't quite know how to find your way back to one.

  • You're ready to begin, even if you're not ready to be fixed.

Here's the thread underneath all of it. The days of the week were never just a calendar. Monday belongs to the moon, instinct before thought. Tuesday belongs to courage. Wednesday belongs to the messenger, the threshold crossed by reaching out. Friday belongs to love. Sunday belongs to the light that closes a cycle. We didn't invent that. We're building a daily practice on top of what was already true.

What's inside

  • 14 ritual videos
    A morning ritual and an evening ritual for each day of the week, Monday through Sunday. Each video is grounded, embodied, and under 15 minutes.

  • A tangible anchor for each ritual, drawn from things you already have at home

    Water, a stone, a key, a feather, a shell, a seed, a candle. Something to hold during the ritual, and to carry with you back into the rest of your day.

    Each day carries its own ancient thread, mostly based on Greek mythology, used as invitation, never instruction.

  • 3 live gatherings

    One at the start, one at the midpoint, one at the close. Space to be witnessed, to ask what's actually alive for you, and to remember you're not doing this alone.

  • 3 months of full access after the program ends

    Enough time to live with it, return to it, and make it genuinely yours.

How it works

Each week, the same seven days will meet you again. They won't feel the same the second time, or the third.

  • Week 1, Encounter.

    Access opens Monday, July 20, and you begin with Monday's ritual right away. You don't need to feel ready first, a ritual isn't something you qualify for, only something you step into. Two days in, on Wednesday, July 22, Hermes's day, the day of crossing and connection, we gather live for the first time, so you arrive already having lived a little of it, not just imagining it.

  • Week 2, Deepen.

    You've crossed each day once already. Some mornings were easy, some weren't. There's no falling behind here. If you missed a day, it isn't gone, it comes back around this week, waiting exactly where you left it. Our second gathering meets you here, in the middle, on Tuesday, July 28, Ares's day: courage, and the decision to begin again.

  • Week 3, Integrate.

    Nothing to master, nothing to get right. By now, some days may start speaking before the video does. Our closing gathering happens on Sunday, August 9, Helios and Apollo's day: light, renewal, the completion of the circle.

  • Live gatherings, mark your calendar:

    • Wednesday, July 22, 19:30 CEST, opening, around 90 minutes

    • Tuesday, July 28, 19:30 CEST, midpoint, around 90 minutes

    • Sunday, August 9, 19:30 CEST, closing, around 90 minutes

    That's mid-afternoon in New York, morning in Los Angeles, evening in London. If the hour doesn't favor your part of the world, the replay arrives within 24 hours, so nothing that matters gets lost.

This isn't something you'll need to keep paying for to keep using. By the third week, the practice has moved from the video into you, gestures and small rituals you've started to make your own. Access continues for three months after the program ends, but what you've built by then is yours for good.

Hi! I'm Iris!

I'm the founder of The Ritual Place. Before this, I spent years as a performer, and seven years creating bespoke rituals for individuals and organisations. I hold a postgraduate degree in contemporary ritual design.

Half Flemish, half Sardinian, I have spent my life moving between languages and cultures, and have come to believe the in-between is exactly where meaning tends to live. I split my time between Antwerp and a piece of forest land in Flanders, the future home of The Ritual Place.

I take the work seriously. Myself, a little less so.

You don't have to be ready.

You don't have to be healed.

You just have to cross it.

Frequently asked questions

What if I miss a live session?

Each call opens with a welcome, space for questions, a bit of reflection, and a guided meditation, and that part is recorded and shared on the platform afterward, so you won't miss the substance. From there, the call moves into a live ritual moment that isn't recorded. Presence is part of what makes that part work, so I'd love to have you there when you can. If you know you'll miss a call, you're welcome to email your question beforehand and I'll answer it live. Either way, come prepared: bring a pen and notebook, you'll still have plenty to work with.

Is this suitable for complete beginners?

Yes. No previous experience with ritual, meditation, or spiritual practice is needed. The only requirement is curiosity.

What if I fall behind?

There is no behind. You have three months of access after the program ends, use them at whatever pace works for your life. If three months isn't enough, there will be a way to extend your access further down the line, more on that closer to when it's relevant.

Is this a spiritual program?

It draws from mythology, symbolism, and the ancient roots of the days of the week. It isn't tied to any religion or belief system. You decide what it means to you.

What if it's not for me?

Then it's not for you, and that's alright. If you're still unsure, follow along on Instagram for a while first, or start with A Gentle Return, the free three-day ritual experience, to get a feel for how I work before you decide.

Do you offer refunds?

No. What the Days Know is a small, independent practice with no support team behind it, and the price reflects that. Please make sure this feels right for you before joining. Full terms are confirmed at checkout.
