The Zhian'tara is a Trill ceremony in which the present host can meet with past hosts. The personalities of past hosts are placed in the bodies of the current host's closest friends.<ref>[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Zhian%27tara Zhian'tara], Memory Alpha</ref> | The Zhian'tara is a Trill ceremony in which the present host can meet with past hosts.

The telepathic ceremony of zhian'tara allows a current host to divest the symbiont of the personality and all the memories of a previous host, which are temporarily hosted in volunteers. The transferring process is performed and supervised by a symbiont Guardian, an unjoined Trill telepath. The ceremony creates a chance for closure by having the new host address the previous hosts directly as a means of distinguishing their voices and cementing the sense of finality of its latest transition. Similarly, the Rite of Emergence can focus the voice of a single previous host among the memories of the other, allowing for a more direct converse in times of need for the current host.<ref name= "Trill MA"/> | |||
The zhian'tara ritual is roughly similar to the [[Vulcan]] fal-tor-pan ritual, since both enable the respective species to perform a synaptic pattern displacement, the transfer of what could be considered as a soul (katra, pagh, etc.).<ref name= "Trill MA"/> | |||
