The Power of Ritual

Turning Everyday Activities into Soulful Practices | Paperback
 
How we find connection today has changed. We no longer seek purpose and community within traditionally religious spaces, but rather in secular ones: CrossFit, book clubs, and yoga studios have become our new congregations. Gratitude journals now fulfill the role of traditional prayer. And tech breaks have become the new sabbath. Yet in a climate of social isolation and a new era of seekers, how do we make the things we do every day fulfill our age-old search for meaning? This is where the ancient wisdom of ritual comes in. Casper ter Kuile, Harvard Divinity School Fellow and cohost of the award-winning podcast Harry Potter and the Sacred Text, draws from scientific studies and diverse spiritual traditions to show how turning everyday activities into intentional rituals can transform our lives.
