Casper Ter Kuile is one of the most genuinely joy-filled humans that I have had the pleasure of knowing.
In this conversation we do a deep dive into his new book 'The Power of Ritual' which is out the day this episode airs, itβs honestly a perspective-shifting and heart-warmingly beautiful book on discovering the sacred amidst everyday life and seeing the world through the eyes of ritual. It's a real corker of a conversation! A few of the stories + questions we dive into are:
βͺ Β Some of his early experiences as a climate activist that unexpectedly led him to Harvard Divinity School
π Β Redefining what it means for something to be 'sacred'
β³ Β Why he loves the powerful idea of liturgical time
π€ Β What he considers to be some of the enemies of ritual
π Β How to go about designing your own rituals amidst the lockdown.
β€οΈ Β Rituals that we've both created to foster meaningful connection with our respective partners amidst the quarantine
π Β How he has managed to create a secular sabbath for himself (and stick to it for over 4 years)
π§ββοΈ Β His favourite Harry Potter scene (this is unexpectedly powerful!)
ποΈ Β The one lesson that he's taken away from working with the OnBeing team.
