Spiritual Groups: Fellowship and Worship

Take the time to get together with people who are spiritual. It's called "fellowship" and it's really valuable and wonderful. There's nothing like a spiritual community where you can feel instantly understood and appreciated for what you believe in and experience. You'll hear other people's experiences, too, which often helps you to deepen your own.

There are religious, church based groups, and there are spiritual, non-denominational groups, and there are gatherings of people who just want to get together. Some have educational components: bible study, meditation classes, book clubs, or discussion groups. Others offer peer group support and counseling, emergency assistance, or just companionship.

There are an abundance of anonymous support groups, with a spiritual emphasis, that can really be of great inspiration and release. Local houses of worship or community centers are a good place to start finding out what's available in your area. The Internet, too, on websites and in listings you enjoy and trust, offers good resources.
