The term New Age describes a broad movement which began in the late 20th century, characterised by an individual eclectic approach to spiritual exploration. Collectively, New Age has some attributes of an emergent religion but the beliefs and practices of adherents are extremely diverse and diffuse. Many of the ideas of the New Age movement are elements of older spiritual and religious traditions from both East and West, melded with modern ideas from science -- especially psychology and ecology.
