Spirituality and Our Search for Meaning

Spirituality can take on deeper significance in later life, becoming a vital source of meaning, comfort and resilience. It can be a very broad topic, taking in many different religious and meditative traditions. But what does it mean for us? We reflect on our lives, relationships with our families and the broader community, connecting to something outside ourselves and finding peaceful spaces. We explore how spirituality can become a search for ways to make sense of our lives and our world. We talk about activism and how taking a stand on an issue can bring spiritual moments. Spirituality can be a quest for answers to the big questions of life and when we ask those questions, we need to be ready for what we might find, or not. We end by talking about accepting the mystery of life and not settling into a comfortable life.
