Casper and the P&C team will be responding here live for the next ~1hr. We invite you to ask questions, and to also share your POV with answers!
🍿Tell us what you think, please!
Popcorn Q&A is new to us and we would love your feedback so we can improve the experience *with* you in mind. Do you have 3 minutes to share some thoughts? If so, click here. Thank you!
We're wrapping this edition of Popcorn Q&A 🍿. Big thank you to Casper and to all of you wonderful humans for joining this conversation. It's been an uplifting way to kick off a Friday for us.
What advice do you have for designing rituals for welcoming people into your community? For saying goodbye? Are there other key moments we should be bringing ritual into?
You say rituals are not here to make things different, they are here to make things real. That runs counter to experiences I’m going through with spiritual teachers, where rituals do make spiritual, social, and emotional change. Can you talk more about how you came to this definition?
In the episode you talk about community leaders being “shepherds,” being part of the community but also separate from it with a different set of responsibilities. What advice do you have for being a good “shepherd?”
What are non-secular rituals to close gatherings or to say goodbye that we should adapt or learn from? We put a ton of thought into the opening rituals and we tend to neglect the importance of the ending.
Alright!

Which Harry Potter character do you most identify with?
My question for Casper is:
What advice do you have for designing rituals for welcoming people into your community? For saying goodbye? Are there other key moments we should be bringing ritual into?
👋🏻Welcome, we are happy you are here!
To get started in the chat: Tell us where you are tuning in from today and share the community work that is on your mind.
It's-a-meeee! Mario!
Hi Casper! I loved the case studies in your How We Gather report. What was your research process like?
When you hear the word ritual - what's the first association in your brain?!
I'm curious. Who has made a 'sacred' space in their home during quar? If yes - what's in it?
People & Co team - what's your fave ritual you've seen online recently?
Casper! What should we know about your book and when can we get it!?
❓QUESTION OF THE DAY
As Casper and others pop in to answer your specific questions, we have a question for you all.
What are some of the most powerful communal rituals you’ve been a part of? What made them so special?
You say rituals are not here to make things different, they are here to make things real. That runs counter to experiences I’m going through with spiritual teachers, where rituals do make spiritual, social, and emotional change. Can you talk more about how you came to this definition?
Kai here sending good vibes from Singapore, Casper ✌🏽

Another question popped in my mind - what do you see to be the difference between ritual and tradition?
What are non-secular rituals to close gatherings or to say goodbye that we should adapt or learn from? We put a ton of thought into the opening rituals and we tend to neglect the importance of the ending.
