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

And we'll be right back after a word from our sponsors.

Good Life Project

I want to clarify here because is this something that generally, let's say there's eight people that's sitting around my living room, where they would make an offering or something, a wish towards me?

Or is this more collective, like we do it to each other?

Good Life Project

So here's what I want to do.

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

Because it feels better for me for this to be some sort of like shared intention across different people.

So I'm going to have a little piece of paper for each person and a pencil.

Not a pen, pencil.

I'm not sure why, but that just feels righter to me.

And I want them to write one intention for another person in the room without naming them, just one.

Good Life Project

Right.

And intention that they feel like they would love to wish for anybody in the room and basically put it into a small bowl in the center.

And then we would each like shake it around and each draw one out.

Good Life Project

I love the simplicity of it also.

There's a, you know, like you literally like these are five things and just go through and figure out what do you want each one of these things to be.

Good Life Project

And I would imagine also you can kind of like map these out in your head and plan for it.

And then in the moment, there are going to be times where it unfolds exactly the way you thought and hope.

Good Life Project

And then there'll be times where it kind of like goes off the rails a little bit.

Good Life Project

And there'll be other times where something just profound and transcended that you never saw coming happens.

And you're like, this is what was meant to happen, even though I had no idea that that's what, you know, what I really needed in my heart.
