My current preferred framing is civic care or relational health—secularly acceptable words. Tie in spiritual practice as exercising relationship muscles, building a “six-pack of care” like on my website 6pack.care. Normalize care as an exercise, like gym or yoga, which is a culture, not a cult—no charismatic leaders. Practices like yoga, breathing, or Zen straddle religion/spirituality and civic exercise. They’re easier for leadership to admit. Once in, they’re adjacent to others, so you won’t be seen as dominated by any religion. Start with yoga or something.
