 Rituals & Traditions Series: Cocreating Belonging

Join us Tuesday, October 13, 8:00 PM ET, 7:00 PM CT for Session 1 - Roots of Self Enculturation: Where My Story Begins

Host:
Mukta Panda, MD, MACP

Guest Speakers:
Maria Tudor, DO, FACP
Ezzaddin Al Wahsh, MD

In this six-session experience, we will explore how rituals, shaped by both our roots (enculturation) and our interactions with new cultures (acculturation), influence our sense of identity, purpose, and belonging. Through powerful narrative presentations, speakers will share how their lived experiences have shaped not only who they are, but how they intentionally create spaces of belonging for others.

The Rituals & Traditions Series is an interchapter collaboration through storytelling, reflection, and shared traditions, where stories become bridges and traditions become pathways to connection.

Self → Story → Connection → Community → Action → Belonging

Rituals & Traditions is guided by a five-part framework centered around BELONGING, our journey will move through the following themes:

  • Roots of Self
  • Crossing Cultures
  • The Tension & Harmony Between Worlds
  • Rituals as Bridges
  • From Personal Belonging to Collective Belonging
  • The Belonging Arc
