RMV 24 Sasha Sagan: You Can Design Rituals To Celebrate Our Unlikely Existence

Today we’re thrilled and honored to welcome Sasha Sagan. Raised
in a secular household by the astronomer Carl Sagan and writer
and producer Ann Druyen, Sasha was taught that the natural world
and vast cosmos are full of profound beauty, and that science
reveals truths that are more wondrous than any myth or fable.


When she herself became a mother, Sasha began her own hunt for
the natural phenomena behind our most treasured occasions — from
births to deaths, holidays to weddings, anniversaries, and the
simple ways we mark the rhythms of the everyday. Seeing life
itself as worthy of celebration, Sasha authored the book, For
Small Creatures Such As We, which thoughtfully explores how we
might blend science and spirituality.


Let’s listen in as Sasha shares how she’s been creating a new set
of rituals for her young daughter that honor the joy and
significance of each experience. She’ll also share how you can
design your own rituals to feel more connected to self,
community, and the vast universe we’re all an integral part of.
