New Age

because "New Age" refers to such a broad range of late 20th-century and contemporary beliefs and practices, you'll need to identify which tenets are held by any given individuals or which aspects of New Age spirituality are included in any reference to it. Characterized by an eclectic and personal approach to spiritual exploration, the New Age movement has no holy text, central organization, membership, formal clergy, geographic center, dogma, or hard-and-fast creed. Instead, it draws on all the major world religions for inspiration with particular emphasis on Buddhism, Hinduism, Shamanism, Sufism, Taoism, New Thought, Neo-Paganism, and Spiritualism. Many New Agers graft additional beliefs onto traditional religious affiliations.
