In a culture increasingly organised around productivity and individual choice, many of our repeated behaviours have become about efficiency rather than meaning. In this episode, we explore why even very small rituals - a meal, a walk, a song, a candle - can give shape and significance to ordinary life, particularly in our 20s.

Watch on Netflix: HERE

We explore:
Why rituals aren’t just religious or spiritual
Why performing rituals is an integral part of human behaviour
How rituals create belonging and maintain relationships
How predictable rituals can provide an anchor during uncertainty, overwhelm and periods of change
Why our 20s may particularly benefit from rituals
The importance of ritualising endings
