As we move out of the COVID-19 pandemic, what rituals can we create to help us honor the ones we’ve lost, bring closure to the worst of the crisis, and step into what comes next? Why are rituals important; and how are rituals, religion, and theatre intertwined? This episode explores what rituals have provided for us over the past 70,000 years.
Most of the definitions used in this episode, such as for the terms ‘ritual’ and ‘tradition’ were sourced on Google, dictionary.com, and Wikipedia.
