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, it’s 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:

⛪   Some of his early experiences as a climate activist that unexpectedly led him to Harvard Divinity School
🙏   Redefining what it means for something to be 'sacred'
⏳   Why he loves the powerful idea of liturgical time
🤔   What he considers to be some of the enemies of ritual
📝   How to go about designing your own rituals amidst the lockdown.
❤️   Rituals that we've both created to foster meaningful connection with our respective partners amidst the quarantine
📆   How he has managed to create a secular sabbath for himself (and stick to it for over 4 years)
🧙‍♂️   His favourite Harry Potter scene (this is unexpectedly powerful!)
🎙️   The one lesson that he's taken away from working with the OnBeing team.
