I've been thinking about Solarpunk spiritualities/philosophies. Not gonna use the word religion here to avoid the negative connotations of that.

I've been practicing druidism way before I ever discovered solarpunk, and I feel like the two are very compatible with each other. Love of nature, do no harm to others, fluid and evolving, open to interpretation.

Any other ideas about already existing spiritual philosophies that are compatible with solarpunk?

I really think the book Always Coming Home by Ursula Le Guin is very good on this subject, they have a sort of metaphorical religion created themselves, with many of the good community building aspects on religion.

I personally think there is much good to learn from the ways of Buddhism and Daoism, both their core ideas and some of the practice.
