spiritual movement
Faith-based collective trend
A spiritual movement is a collective shift in religious or metaphysical belief and practice, typically arising outside established institutions.
Such movements may coalesce around a charismatic leader, a set of teachings, or shared practices: The New Age spiritual movement drew from Eastern religions and Western esotericism.
Unlike organized religions, spiritual movements often lack formal hierarchies or creeds, emphasizing personal experience and transformation.
