Anew Salon: On the Power of Rituals and Gathering – A Conversation with Bruce Feiler

For the second edition of Anew Salon, our discussion will turn to what our guest Bruce Feiler has termed "the renaissance of ritual." Fed up with isolation and loneliness, people around the world are creating astonishing new ways to gather around life, love, health, and family--and forging thriving communities in the process. Join us as we trace the journey Bruce Feiler embarked on for his latest book, “A Time to Gather: How Ritual Created the World — and How It Can Save Us,” and learn how we can mark life's changes with joy, empathy, and hope.
For this latest Anew Salon, we’re excited to be in conversation with Bruce Feiler, author of seven New York Times bestsellers, including "Life is in the Transitions," "The Secrets of Happy Families," and "Council of Dads."
Anew Salon is an intimate interview series centered on a new era of leadership and solution making. Our Anew Salon features conversations with mission-driven experts who are transforming companies, sectors, cities, and communities in brave, genre-defying new ways.
Doors will open at 5pm, and the program will start by 5:30pm, followed by socializing until 7pm.
