The use of rituals for healing purposes is documented in anthropological contexts and within Eastern and Western religions. Therapeutic rituals are used in a variety of clinical social work contexts, most notably with individuals, groups, and families. This article explores the use of therapeutic ritual on a community level with survivors of rape. This collective context promotes intrapersonal and interpersonal healing, challenges rape myths, and allows the expression of group values and shared meanings. The candlelight vigil and the stone‐throwing ceremony, two community healing rituals developed by the author, are presented as a method to promote individual and community growth
