How Shared Rituals Lead to Thriving Communities | Kori Hall | TEDxOklahomaCity

How can we create thriving communities? By identifying our shared values, participating in shared rituals which lead to shared experiences, and developing shared practices and actions, we can create communities with shared thriving. Kori Hall challenges us to invite other people into the rituals we have and participate in the rituals of others—because in order to keep our community worthy, the first step is to come to a shared understanding of what makes something worthy.
