Spirituality & Meaning
You’ve chosen the Spirituality & Meaning Pathway.
For some, spirituality is rooted in tradition, faith, and long-held beliefs. For others, it’s more elusive — a quiet wondering, a longing for meaning, a desire to feel connected to something bigger than ourselves.
Maybe you’ve envied the comfort and structure of organised religion, the ritual and rhythm of gathering, the shared language around things like goodness, compassion, or intention. But for whatever reason — faith, upbringing, belief — that path didn’t quite fit.
That doesn’t mean you're not spiritual. It just means your version might look different.
This pathway is for anyone who wants to explore meaning, connection, and depth in a way that feels honest and accessible. It’s for the spiritually curious, the quietly questioning, the ones who want to talk about the big things without needing all the answers.
Maybe it’s found in shared music, in silence, in nature, in ritual, in creativity, in stillness, in a conversation that goes further than “How are you?”
Spirituality doesn’t need to be conjured. But meaning can be made. And often, it’s made together.
You don’t have to believe a specific story to believe that connection matters. That intention matters. That gathering, reflection, and wonder have a place in our lives — even (especially) when things feel uncertain.
This pathway is an invitation to find what feels sacred to you, whatever shape that takes.
Because you're searching for something deeper even if you're not quite sure what it is.
“The spiritual energy of our time, as I’ve come to understand it, is not a rejection of the rational disciplines by which we’ve ordered our common life for many decades - law, politics, economics, science. It is, rather, a realization that these disciplines have a limited scope. They can’t ask ultimate questions...they don’t begin to tell us how to order our astonishments, what matters in life, what matters in a death, how to love, how we can be of service to each other. These are the kinds of questions religion arose to address and religious traditions are keepers of conversation across generations about them.

Check out some ideas for places to seek out spirituality & meaning
Where to search for meaning? Identifying with something beyond yourself can bring perspective and meaning into your life. We’re not talking about just traditional church though — this is all about the non-secular ways we can connect to something greater. Here are some places — like a Sunday Assembly of a different kind or getting unbound in a National Park — to get outside yourself and feel, in a good way, like there’s some wisdom to it all. This is all about bringing back that sense of connection to something bigger, defined on your own terms, in your own way.
