Sacred Rituals of Movement Part 2 - Expressions in the Modern World

This is the second lecture in a two-part series exploring ritualized movement across religious and cultural traditions. Turning to contemporary life, Dr. Robert Weiner will examine how sacred and secular movements - such as parades, pilgrimages, sporting events and graduation ceremonies — continue to shape the modern world. In particular, he will focus on how seemingly secular practices exhibit many of the same qualities of ritual and sacredness that are usually attributed to religion. Join Dr. Weiner for a closer look at how these embodied rituals persist today and what they reveal about spiritual and social life in the modern world.

Maeve Hartney, Chief Program Officer of Massachusetts Road Scholar Programs, will lead a viewing of the online lecture at Abbot Public Library, followed by a discussion session. Registration is required and limited to 35. Please register at tinyurl.com/Sacred-Movement-2.
