Protestant, Catholic, Anglican – 50 years ago that was almost the extent of religious diversity in Australia.

While traditional religion is in decline amongst Australians, a new trend is emerging – the rise of ‘spirituality’. What are some of the reasons?

Emma Quilty is a witch, Jonathan Murphy is founder of Yogafest, and Nikki Janks is co-founder of Centred Meditation. In a group that all regard themselves as spiritual, they join Myf Warhurst to unpack old versus new forms of spirituality, their thoughts on conventional religion, and why we should all come to the spiritual table in our own way.
