Ritual is the architecture of human connection
The table is our most vital site of activation.
We choreograph the collective meal to anchor a ritual of recognition and belonging.
Our rituals are built on a three-part architecture designed to move us from individuals to a collective
DESIGN
The intentional curation of environment,
rhythm, and sensory texture to build a
container for communal space.
RECOGNITION
The active practice of witnessing through
storytelling, ensuring every participant is a
vital part of the structure.
REMEMBRANCE
The archival act of honoring the
stories and lineages that anchor our
present moment in a shared history.
The Communal Ritual. A recurring, choreographed installation. Our primary activation in Detroit is the Sunday Dinner, a site where you are a vital part of the architecture.
Bring the practice to your community
Greater Health Institute is available for commissioned social architecture and site-specific ritual. You can bring a bespoke installation of connection to your organization, collective, or private space. Under the artistic direction of our founder, this work repairs the social fabric through the art of communal presence.
