In this episode, we talk to Alexander Alich – founder and director of the FoxFire Institute of Shamanic Studies, and a doctoral researcher looking into the experiences and practices of western shamanic practitioners. Alexander discusses the increasing rise of shamanism (now the fastest-growing religion in the UK), and how this burgeoning spiritual interest may stem from current concerns around eco-anxiety and a need to reconnect with the natural world. Also joining us is Emilia Morano-Williams, Stylus’ senior trends editor for Consumer Attitudes and Technology, to explore key insights emerging from our recent report, Redefining Faith: Spirituality’s Next Chapter.
