In Brazilian culture, espiritualidade encompasses a broad spectrum from organized religion to syncretic spiritual practices combining African, indigenous, and European traditions. It is a significant aspect of Brazilian identity and daily life, with many Brazilians identifying as spiritual rather than strictly religious. The term gained particular prominence in urban centers with the rise of new age movements and self-help culture in the 1980s-2000s.
