AnnotationAt present, there is a widening search for spirituality as distinct from organised religion, particularly as it relates to well-being, wholeness, and healing. In both professional and lay contexts, spirituality has come to the forefront of public consciousness. The place of spirituality within the hospice movement is not unaffected by this shift in popular priorities. Once the perogative of chaplains and clergy, the nurturing of spiritual journeys is now becoming a common concern. Experiencing sensory spirituality can provide both caregivers and those for whom they care a respite for bodies, minds and spirits. (RH).
