New Age

The term New Age actually has its roots in astrology, but is best described as a broad movement of late twentieth century and contemporary Western culture characterised as an individual spiritual exploration.

It has some attributes of a new, emerging religion, but is currently a loose network of spiritual seekers, teachers, healers and other participants.

The name New Age also refers to the market segment in which goods and services are sold to people in and outside of the movement.
