Belonging Through Ritual & Spirituality with Casper ter Kuile
Casper ter Kuile is on the podcast this week, and this episode is just beautiful. Casper has been such a huge inspiration for me and I think is one of the most important current voices in the conversation around community and belonging. In this conversation, we discuss: ritual and meaning outside of religion, how ritual creates reminders of interconnectedness, Shabbat and Abraham Joshua Heschel, creating our own blessings for sacred moments, how individualizing our spirituality creates more loneliness, and creating a shared meaning of G-d and why this word feels unsafe to some.
Casper ter Kuile is a researcher at Harvard Divinity School and the co-founder of Sacred Design Lab, and one half of the duo who created the popular podcast “Harry Potter and the Sacred Text” which goes by the motto “Reading fiction doesn’t help us escape the world, it helps us live in it”. Casper is the co-author of How We Gather, a cultural map of Millennial communities, and the co-founder of the UK Youth Climate Coalition and Campaign Bootcamp. A graduate of Harvard’s Divinity and Kennedy Schools, his work has been featured in The New York Times, The Boston Globe and on NPR. He lives in New York City with his husband Sean.
