Spirituality Shopper (Religious)
Presented by Olympic gold-medallist Jonathan Edwards, Spirituality Shopper offers non-religious members of the public the opportunity to find a spiritual answer to a big problem in their lives. Each episode identifies four different spiritual practices taken from the UK's leading old and new religions to help the individuals change their outlook and unlock their potential. The series taps into society's "pick and mix" approach to faith, where few people consider themselves religious but many yearn for something spiritual. Jonathan identifies each person's spiritual needs not just by spending time with them, but also by meeting their friends, family and work colleagues who may have very different ideas about where that person is lacking. For one month as they live, eat and breathe their newfound spirituality, Jonathan monitors their progress as they unlock their potential and find a different way to deal with their key problem, as well as perhaps finding a deeper meaning in their lives. Michaela Newton-Wright is a 29-year-old media account manager who lives in south London and works in Soho. She has a comfortable material life but, as she rapidly approaches her 30th birthday, she feels something is missing. Jonathan introduces her to: Buddhist meditation to calm her down and allow her to reflect on her life more clearly; Jewish Shabbat meals to bond on a deeper level with friends and family; Christian Lent to re-examine her image and life - she has to give up hair straighteners and walk to the tube instead of taking the bus; charitable work to encourage her to think about the community around her; and Sufi whirling to force her to let go of herself and relax.
