I've been thinking about Solarpunk spiritualities/philosophies. Not gonna use the word religion here to avoid the negative connotations of that.

I've been practicing druidism way before I ever discovered solarpunk, and I feel like the two are very compatible with each other. Love of nature, do no harm to others, fluid and evolving, open to interpretation.

Any other ideas about already existing spiritual philosophies that are compatible with solarpunk?

Atheopaganism is what resonates with me- all of the ritual and "spicy psychology" as we call it with none of the supernaturalism.

Basically, think of ritual but focused on the participants' state of mind target than any belief in or expectation of any external / supernatural results. Intentionality, focus, change in perspective, mental / emotional cues, etc.

Sounds like good common-sense psychology to me. Is it like a kind of self-ritual, like when you want to change something about yourself and 'mark' the change with a ritual?
