Defining ‘spirituality’ in The Mountains Class

It is having a part of you that questions why we are here, what we are doing and what might exist beyond the world. To me, it is about being strongly connected to the universe.     Luna

It is using big questions to realise that you are a small person in a world full of things that bring awe, wonder and peace to all. It is making connections to your inner self to feel the world around you.     Beth

It is taking moments in nature and at home to be calm and ask big questions, and think big thoughts. I also think I means finding things that make you feel happy and amazed.     Charlie

It is being a little bit of the world and knowing you’ve done a big part. It’s feeling your emotions and knowing yourself and your personality. It’s knowing youa re connected to the world and learning the meaning of life.      Zak

It is the chance to think deeply about your soul and what you are grateful for. It is  not  necessarily a physical thing; it is mainly a mental and inner self thing. You can feel a connection with the beauty you love. I think it is about knowing you belong and that you can reflect on things to make you feel joy, peace and calm.

Poem

It is feeling the spirit in the world around you and opening your heart. It is reflecting and praying and confessing. It is feeling burdenless whilst accepting your imperfection. Also, it is feeling gratitude for your own life.     Sailesh

It is where you show love and show your inner self. Where you bring peace and use your soul to show gratitude. You can reflect and care for others. You ask questions to think deeper. You show kindness and show your feelings.     Robyn

To me it is where you belong and see the connection to nature. It can be when you feel love, joy, peace and why you are here on earth. You can think about how you can be kind to the world and your community. It is to see the beauty of nature and to find your inner self.     Pola

It is to connect to and with the world. Not just the people on earth: the ground we walk on, the air we breathe, our surroundings in nature. In spirituality, you need to know the meaning of earth and why you need to connect with your inner beauty. Our community is filled with wonder and awe and therefore we need to show respect and gratitude. We need to feel in tune with the earth and reflect with your soul. Your feelings belong to you.         Zayla Rose

Being interested in spirituality means having a part of you that questions why we are here, what are we doing and what might exist beyond the world.

Louie

It means to be closer to God and wondering what humans are meant to do in such a short life.       Seth

Spirituality is about what I am passionate about and sometimes it’s about faith. It is where I feel peaceful and joyful and the things I feel a connection to.

Lina

For me, spirituality is the reflection of God. Also it is the reflection of myself. It is a reflection of God because when you look at all the things around you, you can have a calm time just to feel connected to Him.         Isobel

For me, spirituality is seeing the wonder and awe in the world. It is also being kind and helpful and contributing to the world It also means being kind to yourself and understanding your feelings and being grateful.       Odin
