Modern Rituals

Modern rituals are structured behaviors or ceremonies that people perform regularly or on special occasions to signify transitions, affirm identity, or express shared values. Unlike traditional religious rites, they often reflect contemporary life—a morning coffee routine, workplace welcome routines, or social media challenges. These rituals help create a sense of stability, community, and meaning in daily life. They are flexible, evolving with cultural shifts, and serve to reinforce personal or collective identity, providing comfort and connection in an increasingly complex world.
