EP #05: A Return to Ritual
On this week’s episode of Mixed Media Minds, we explore the many soulful sides of ritual - what constitutes ritual, where we crave rituals in our lives currently, and where we find sources of inspiration to create new ones. While we don’t undertake the impossible mission of trying to define rituals, we do reflect on how rituals are distinct from habits and devote some of our conversation to identifying ritualistic practices we currently maintain, perhaps without ever having named them as such. What we discover along the way is that simple, meaningful practices, perhaps even as simple as a reliable morning exchange over coffee with colleagues or a moment of quiet solitude in the gym can all provide a much-needed return to ritual.
We also reflect on the many areas of our own lives where meaningful practice is perhaps absent and imagine how rituals could enrich those areas, potentially even transforming our relationship with fundamentals concepts, like time and nature. To close out on a hopeful note for what comes next, our episode gives us a space to explore sources of inspiration for rituals: people, practices, as well as spiritual and philosophical frameworks that give us a helpful starting point for where we might go with meaningful practice next.
