Bruce Feiler is one of the most delightful people to speak with. He was on Pulling the Thread a few years ago talking about life transitions, which was the topic of one of his many bestselling books. And now he’s back for a conversation around his new book A Time to Gather: How Ritual Created the World—and How It Can Save Us.

Today, Bruce shares some incredible stories of people around the world who are creating rituals for all kinds of moments—from celebrating professional and personal milestones to honor walks for organ donors, miscarriage rituals, and Taylor Swift divorce parties.

Bruce also guides me through a ritual design class in real time, showing how simple—and powerful—it can be to create a ritual of connection in our own lives.
