It was created because spiritual thinkers/seekers were ganged-up on when they tried to discuss spiritual topics in what was the precursor to the Lounge. So anyone who wanted to talk astrology and/or spirituality and/or alternative healing was given this group. I hesitate to call it a "quick fix", but perhaps it was--and now it sounds like a catch-all. But I think we've integrated all sorts of alternative spirituality-type things here since then.

Maybe there hasn't been much discussion of alt health lately, tanyev Dec 2011 #7

Flower essences and Reiki are still a little "out there" for Remember Me Dec 2011 #13

I see no reason why it can't be discussed in both places. Lucinda Dec 2011 #9
