A spiritual connection is basically a deep affinity felt between  people. This deep closeness goes beyond superficial personality traits, age, race, gender, likes, dislikes or shared interests. Instead, a spiritual connection is about sharing the same fundamental values, beliefs, life goals, and dreams.  When we realize that we are indeed connected to all other beings—especially children- we can begin to create together a world that unifies more than it divides.

 

Brené Brown's Definition of Spirituality

| SuperSoul Sunday | Oprah Winfrey Network |

"Spirituality is this deeply held belief that we are inextricably connected to each other by something greater than us, and that something greater is rooted in love and belonging.

We will never be able to free ourself from suffering until we are all free from suffering, which makes it our job to do something about it."

- Brené Brown

Nye and Hay—“sensing awareness values ideas of good and evil, mystery, wonder, awe, meaning, insight and connectedness”

Five children, five religions, (almost) five minutes.
