About the event

🌍 Join us for an enlightening session with Bruce Feiler, an acclaimed storyteller and author, as he explores the fascinating transformation of rituals around the globe.

📖 In his latest work, A Time to Gather, Feiler investigates the decline of traditional rituals—like birth and coming-of-age ceremonies—and how they have been replaced by innovative gatherings that foster connections.

✨ As he traveled through sixteen countries across six continents, he engaged in captivating life rituals, including:

  • A grand baptism in the Vatican
  • A tribal bride price negotiation in South Africa
  • An adolescent tooth filing ceremony in Bali
  • A whirlwind of weddings in Las Vegas
  • Ten heartfelt funerals in Ireland

💡 Despite the decline in conventional rituals, he unveils a vibrant renaissance, where people from all walks of life—young and old—are creatively redefining moments of togetherness.

🛠️ With valuable insights, Feiler shares practical tips on how to elevate any gathering, ensuring they become unforgettable experiences. His engaging narrative serves as both an adventure and a practical guide, encouraging us to reconnect and celebrate life’s milestones collectively.

🎤 The Sidney Isenberg Lectures honor his legacy, emphasizing the importance of human relationships in bringing about transformative change. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to gain insights from a master in the art of storytelling!
