Abi Millar: ‘The Spirituality Gap: Searching for Meaning in a Secular Age’ At a time when more and more people in the Western world are moving away from organised religion, what does spirituality look like? Abi grew up in an evangelical church, but after losing her faith, she found herself searching for meaning elsewhere. In ‘The Spirituality Gap’, she immerses herself in twelve different practices, ranging from ayahuasca to astrology, reiki to raves. Throughout, she asks, how can we embrace ritual in our own lives, even if we are wary of religion?
