| Summary: | This study explored lay perceptions of wellbeing dimensions. Six young adult Orthodox Christians participated in semi-structured interviews about their experiences of spiritual and psychological wellbeing. Data was analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis and produced three themes: articulating wellbeing experiences, relating the two domains, and journeys in wellbeing. This study highlights the role of culture in wellbeing, provides differentiation between lay and academic formulations, and contextualises spiritual wellbeing for an understudied religious group. Future research should refine cultural homogeneity in the sample and explore how specific theological concepts may underpin wellbeing experiences. |
