The Power of Ritual

Turning Everyday Activities into Soulful Practices

Rituals of Life

by David Meyer

Harvard Divinity School Ministry Fellow Casper ter Kuile explains how to elevate mundane aspects of your life into enlightening, uplifting and necessary rituals.

Harvard Divinity School Ministry Fellow Casper ter Kuile — co-host of the “Harry Potter and the Sacred Text” podcast — guides you in transforming daily events into meaningful rituals that connect you with yourself, others, nature and the transcendent. Ter Kuile emphasizes — in a conversational, accessible style — that you don’t need to belong to any particular faith to re-imagine and adapt traditional religious practices such as the Sabbath, pilgrimage and prayer to add spiritual depth to your contemporary, secular life.

Rituals

As dogma grows less appealing and religious institutions lose prestige, people seek authentic spiritual practices that respect their individuality.
