The Art of Ritual
Ritual grounds us when we feel untethered by connecting us to something greater than, or beyond, ourselves. We mark transitions — those that are sad and joyful — through cultural customs that allow us to express ourselves in solitude or in community. Divorceramics encourages the art of ritual.

Community
Divorceramics seeks to harness the curative power of community by creating connection not only between art and ritual, wound and healing, awakening and igniting, but also between us. We can soothe the soul through ritual, kindle hope through shared experience, and create meaning through storytelling.

The site is also a resource for people processing loss. Think of it as a library where the sole Dewey Decimal Classification code is 306.89—divorce. Divorceramics features links to a curated selection of over 100 articles, dozens of podcasts, books and films, all centered around the subject of divorce.
“To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves — therein lies the great, singular power of self-respect.”
— JOAN DIDION

Meet the Artist
Bay-Area artist Jenny Rosen conceived Divorceramics out of lived experience and a desire to help others move beyond survival to making meaning and finding peace after divorce.
Moved by conversation and beauty, she believes in the power of art to deepen connection with others and with oneself. A former editor and alumna of the California College of the Arts, she integrates a literary consciousness and a love of words into her ceramics to invite these dialogues.
