Fasting is one of the oldest and most widespread spiritual practices across cultures and traditions. From ancient rituals to modern mindfulness practices, people have fasted as a way to cultivate clarity, self-discipline, compassion, repentance, gratitude, and deeper awareness. This discussion offers a thoughtful, respectful space to explore the spiritual dimensions of fasting — whether you are experienced, curious, or simply seeking a deeper understanding. Together, we’ll explore questions such as: * What is the purpose of fasting in different spiritual traditions? * How does fasting shape the mind, body, and spirit? This gathering is open to people of all faith backgrounds — and to those who approach fasting from a philosophical or contemplative perspective rather than a religious one. **All are welcome.**
