Thumotic Spirituality: Some Characteristics

Thumotic Spirituality-

Focuses on spirit, understood as "that which makes alive"

Is experientially rather than faith based

Provides a conceptual framework for individual and group creativity

Nurtures love of spirit in all living beings

Inspires a sense of wonder in that we and others are alive rather than not

Engages us in the process of better understanding and caring for the spirits of all the living 

Encourages us to live our lives fully and not interfere with others living theirs

Supports the health and wellness of spirit and thereby of the whole being

Connects humans with all other living beings

Addresses ecological problems

Is an alternative to Western and Eastern religions and spiritualities that deny the value of life and seek to escape from it

Affirms and celebrates life
