Hi all! I'm new to the forum, and I was inspired to join by what I think is a kind of spiritual fatigue... hopefully some of you can help me out.
I moved to the city centre just over a year ago now. It's great in terms of getting to work, getting to the shops, access to all those modern human things everybody needs. But recently, I've been feeling very grey. My partner and I are calling it 'pagan in the city syndrome' - that horrible longing, like having a stale soul. I'm a very nature-based person and recently, I find myself hating all the concrete and the coffee shops, and just desperate to get away. Neither my partner nor I drive, so zipping out to the mountains is beyond our reach.
So I was wondering - are there any more pagans in the city out there? How do you guys combine a city life with a nature-based spirituality? Does anyone have any tips or ideas to refresh me? I'm going mad in this flat!
(Tried going to the park yesterday with my runes - it was crammed full of screaming kids, ice cream vans and drunk football fans... mistake.)
