Ep. 7 The Hidden Power of Rituals

In this episode, Roger reflects on the profound role of ritual in life, community, and the fight for justice. From the subtlety of pouring tea in Japan to the unexpected humanity of a lunch break during a civil rights protest, Roger explores how rituals create space for connection, play, and meaning—especially in times of struggle. Ritual shields us from life's raw edges, offering moments of calm and grounding even in the harshest circumstances, like a prison cell. It reminds us that resistance isn’t just about grand gestures but also about the small, sacred acts that bind us together and prepare us for the challenges ahead.
