Gwen Vogelzang sought spiritual comfort while navigating infertility and parenting neurodiverse children. After facing challenges in her religious community, she crafted personal spiritual rituals, finding solace in daily activities and the natural world. She emphasizes the importance of being present and adjusting spiritual practices to enhance personal meaning. Aizaiah Yong and Anna Yusim highlight how spirituality is a personal journey, urging individuals to explore their connections to 'something greater' and customize their spiritual experiences, regardless of traditional religious affiliations or background.
Spirituality to me is being able to sit in my sunroom and feel the sun on my face and a sense of calm because my ego is not in charge.
Spiritual rituals, including religious ones, are 'living, not a closed loop.' We get to add or change them to bring meaning to our lives.
