Abstract

In the context of the Anthropocene, this article explores the evolving relationship between spirituality and the ecological crisis. It investigates how the acknowledgment of human-driven planetary changes is prompting a reconfiguration of spiritual narratives. Focusing on Indigenous wisdom and global spiritual traditions such as Buddhism, this study argues for the rise of terrestrial spiritualities that align spiritual practice with ecological awareness.
