Spirituality

Our approach to spirituality:

Spirituality is thinking about big questions, like Why are we here? and What is the purpose of life? It is not dependent on religious belief. Spirituality also means trying to understand who we are, both as individuals and as part of a group or community. Everyone has the ability to be spiritual naturally. It is not something you can measure. Instead, it is about becoming more aware of these thoughts and feelings over time. You don’t reach a final stage where you are “fully developed” spiritually. Instead, you are always learning, growing, and thinking more deeply about life.
