Innovation in the Technology of Religion by Irwin Kula

"We cannot simply mimic another culture, cannot simply adopt their patterns of ritual to find our answers. We must create the new forms in order to heal the tears in the tissue of our land. We must become indigenous ourselves, come to know and love this place and learn its stories, moods, and myths. This is the challenge of the new millennium." - Inès Mazas

Powerful narratives around spiritual innovation: sanctuary is not a fixed sacred space but a living, relational process; "Post-activism" is spiritual awakening in action (through unlearning and shapeshifting, rather than adding more dogma); vision of "vulnerable spirituality" where grief and wounds are seen and used as spiritual portals; promoting new forms of eco-spirituality and cosmic kinship, as well as a shift from universality to particularity, locality, and ancestral wisdoms.

The case for “dusking”: In a world of light and noise, embracing the dark can be healing How the simple act of watching twilight can radically transform our perception of the world and our role within it.
