Establishing spiritual community zone

Designating religious community zone

Description

Establishing a spiritual community zone involves designating and developing spaces where individuals can gather for shared spiritual practices, mutual support, and collective growth. This strategy fosters social cohesion, addresses isolation, and provides a supportive environment for personal and communal well-being. By facilitating regular activities, dialogue, and resource sharing, such zones remedy fragmentation and alienation, promoting holistic development and resilience within communities facing social, emotional, or existential challenges.

Implementation

The Manitou Foundation has established a zone for the development of religious communities next to the Sangre de Cristo mountains, Crestone, Colorado, USA. Amongst existing communities are Catholic, Buddhist, Hindu and native American.

The Internet is rapidly becoming a cyberspace for religious life and spiritual discourse. Religion-oriented websites are abundant.
