From the organizers:
Societies are unified by rituals, and we are embarking on an exciting exploration into rituals that have the potential to foster a genuine global community. These rituals must transcend the fear that often transforms relationships into antagonistic dynamics while avoiding the simplistic promotion of in-group trust or identity, which inevitably create out-groups. This seminar focuses on the nature of rituals that build community solidarity rather than mere group cohesion. What kinds of transpersonal emotions and collective effervescence do these rituals invoke? How can we effectively measure their impact? And perhaps most importantly, how can we inspire people to participate in new, potentially unconventional rituals that may seem irrational at first glance?
