People across the U.S. have shared their personal experiences and perspectives about spirituality and religion in a national research study completed this year. Commissioned by the Fetzer Institute, the study aimed to learn more about the beliefs, behaviors, and benefits that undergird people’s spiritual and religious identification, and their relationship to community and civic life. The findings revealed both the nuance and commonality of spiritual experience and offers hope during these challenging times. Representatives from the Institute and advisors will share more about their unique collaborative approach, the mixed methodology used in the research, and consider with the audience the practical implications in this engaging and interactive session.
