Exploring spirituality

While church attendances have been falling in recent years, there is still a hunger in the population for exploring and developing spiritual awareness. Members and friends of Central Edinburgh Quaker Meeting in Scotland have been following a programme of gentle philosophical discussion, in which to ask questions and share personal experiences of spirituality (as opposed to the beliefs of religious institutions). It has worked well for a group of 6-12 people meeting regularly (e.g. monthly) for sessions lasting for one-and-a-half to two hours.

The Exploring Spirituality for All document contains more details of how we have run the sessions, and the topics covered. We invite others to adopt this programme of spiritual exploration for their own groups, and to expand spiritual awareness in all communities.
