The Power of Ritual: How to Create Meaning and Connection in Everything You Do by Casper ter Kuile
"We are in crisis today. Our modern technological society has left too many of us—no matter our ages—feeling isolated and bereft of purpose. Previous frameworks for building community and finding meaning no longer support us. Yet ter Kuile reveals a hopeful new message: we might not be religious, but that doesn’t mean we are any less spiritual.
In The Power of Ritual, ter Kuile invites us to deepen these ordinary practices as intentional rituals that nurture connection and well being. With wisdom and endearing wit, ter Kuile’s call for ritual is ultimately a call to heal our loss of connection to ourselves, to others, and to our spiritual identities. The Power of Ritual reminds us that what we already do every day matters—and has the potential to become a powerful experience of reflection, sanctuary, and meaning." (Amazon.com)
This book was a very approachable guide about how to practice spirituality without religion, it comes in at under 250 pages, making it a quick read with a lot of impact. The chapters were broken up into Connecting with Yourself, Connecting with Others, Connecting with Nature and Connecting with Transcendence and I found myself journaling at the end of each chapter to process my thoughts. As someone who attended church growing up and no longer does this was a helpful guide. It offers insight into ways to connect to a greater power without having to become a part of a religious institution (unless that is what you choose).
