Open Question

How many people participate in New Age spirituality worldwide?

Open Question

New Age has no central organisation and no agreed boundary with the wider fields of alternative spirituality and Western esotericism it draws on, and its many independent teachers, retreat centres and publishers each keep at most their own local records.

What would resolve this A sociological survey using a stated, defensible definition of participation, since belief surveys on individual New Age adjacent claims (reincarnation, astrology, psychic phenomena) measure belief rather than movement participation.
