Is spirituality still possible without belief? ✨

Journalist Abi Millar grew up in an evangelical church, but after losing her faith, she was left with a profound question: what comes next? Her search for meaning led her beyond traditional religion—into the worlds of astrology, ayahuasca, shamanic healing and even atheist churches.

In her upcoming talk, The Spirituality Gap, Abi explores how people navigate a post-religious world, seeking connection, purpose and transcendence in unexpected places. Is there a way to reconcile skepticism with spirituality? And what does it really mean to believe in something?
