Fordham’s Definition of Spirituality

In order to help everyone understand exactly what we mean by spirituality, we have created the following definition:

Spirituality is about ensuring that everyone flourishes.  It involves each of us understanding ourselves, relating well to others, appreciating the beauty in the world and reflecting on the deeper meaning of life. It also involves us contributing to the flourishing of others and the world around us.

We see four dimensions to spirituality:

Self – Spirituality involves understanding ourselves as unique individuals, what we are and what we want to become.  It includes what we choose to believe and value.
