From the first flicker of firelight to the glow of the smartphone screen, human beings have gathered around symbols. We’ve lifted cups, burned incense, touched foreheads to ground, whispered names to the sky. Before we had temples, we had rhythm. Before we had scripture, we had ceremony and before we had belief, we had the body kneeling, breathing, remembering.

This episode is called Rituals That Shape Us. It’s about how ceremonies, rites of passage, and sacred routines anchor us in mystery even when we think we’ve outgrown them because maybe, it’s not belief we’re losing, but rhythm.
