Islam, Perennialism and the New Age Movement
Religious movements such as Perennialism (emphasizing truth and salvation of all faiths) and New Age Spirituality (emphasizing being “spiritual” over being “religious”) are largely a product of the growing skepticism towards organized religion. Join us as we attempt to understand the widespread adoption of these movements and explore the balanced counter-narrative from within the Islamic tradition.

Does the secular nature of the discourse introduce a potential of conflict between the two? What then are the possibilities of reconciliation?
