Hi Brian

I think it depends on the person but nature can be a spiritual experience. That is fair that you don’t like the word spiritual. Each to their own. 😊

I wouldn’t say that spirituality leads to an emotional high all of the time. It certainly can sometimes. There are specific meditations I do that benefit mood. Church for me gives similar emotions to any group gathering where people are happy like concerts or football. It is also a wonderful experience meeting kind people. I’m also a fan of nature and that gives my mood a boost too.

Wishing you all the best! ❤️🙏
