Does the project design include any political positions, orientations or assumptions? How does your own positionality interact with these political dimensions? What are the potential political implications and outcomes of your research findings? How might your methods be adapted to account for these political elements?
I don’t think there is much political assumptions that can be made when looking at the (re) emergence of spirituality within the UK. I suppose one might already be biased and look at it as a cult but I don’t feel that way about the topic.
Perhaps my own positionality and beliefs make me want to explore the capitalist aspect of spiritual retreats, the irony behind wanting to reconnect with nature and escape your daily life, routine, and the city by spending a lot of money on a weekend away but it seems to me that it is just an important part of the topic and one I would not want to brush over.
