Good Life Project · Why Rituals Matter More Than You Know, And How to Design Your Own | Bruce Feiler · 8 Jun 2026 podcast

So when I see this as, that's why I call it empathy, right?

It's a way for everybody to hold space, to join in it,

There's a thing that one designer I know used that I've been adopting in what I've been doing.

This is not a scripted show for your entertainment.

This is audience participation.

So you want to wait for everybody.

So if everyone's spoken, you can say everybody pick somebody else in the circle and offer your wish for them.

Which it will just quickly become general because it will relate to all.

So that's what, okay, so what do you want people to do?

You want to do candle?

You want to come to the middle and put, you got eight people sitting around.

I will just tell you, I'm getting a little emotional hearing this.

I want to just tell you a quick story.

I was in South Africa attending this traditional bride price negotiation.

I've been 17 years.

And that was the day it was going to finally finish.

Kids were raised, parents had died, and they were going to have a traditional wedding and what they called a white wedding, back to back.

And at dawn, the family woke up, took some from a marula tree, took some seeds or fruit and seeds, and they turned it into a beer and they poured it as an offering at the base of the tree.

Six months later, I was in the Andes Mountains in Chile talking to a Mapuche healer from the largest indigenous tribe in Chile and one of the most revered in South America because they had withstood invader after invader.

And before I met this Mapuche healer to talk to him by ritual, he took a home brew and he poured it at the base of a tree.
