• Books & Literature
• Religion & Spirituality

Casper ter Kuile, Harvard Divinity School fellow and author of the new book The Power of Ritual: Turning Everyday Activities into Soulful Practices, which John Green has called “essential reading for anyone interested in how to find meaning in our strange, new world” joins us with author and religion writer Tara Isabella Burton (The New York Times, the Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal) to talk about the extraordinary power of ritual in helping us navigate crisis.

At a time when many of us are feeling isolated, unmoored, and questioning purpose, ter Kuile finds it more important than ever to nourish our souls by transforming common, everyday practices into the rituals that help ground and deepen our lives. Writing in a journal, yoga, a morning walk—hear ter Kuile and Burton explore how no act is too small to bring meaning, even spirituality, if it is taken on with attention and repetition and, most importantly, intentionality.
