Most studies on New Age spirituality remain overly descriptive and lack solid, empirically grounded historical-sociological explanations for its increasing popularity since the counter
culture of the 1960s and 1970s. In this article we therefore study the motivations of the ‘first generation’ spiritual seekers to turn to the New Age on the basis of 42 qualitative in-depth interviews with Dutch New Age teachers that grew up in the counter culture. The analysis demonstrates that they were motivated by discontents about Christian churches and modern work organizations, especially in the field of social care. Due to the countercultural emphasis on individual liberty, our respondents experienced both institutions as ‘meaningless’ and
‘alienating’ and felt attracted to the promises of humanistic self-spirituality and holism. In the conclusion we speculate on how and why the young, “second generation” New Agers turns to
spirituality nowadays and in what ways their motivations differ from the first generation.

Abstract in French&lt;br/&gt;
Le plupart des études sur la spiritualité Nouvel Âge reste trop descriptive et manque des
solides explications historiques et sociologiques empiriquement fondées pour sa popularité
croissante depuis la contre-culture des années 1960 et 1970. Dans cet article donc, nous
étudions les motivations de la ‘première génération’ de chercheurs spirituels à se tourner vers
le Nouvel Âge. Nous le faisons sur la base de 42 interviews qualitatifs approfondis avec des
enseignants néerlandais nouvel âge, qui ont grandis dans la contre-culture et de nos jours
s’occupent activement avec la propagation du discours de la spiritualité. L'analyse montre
qu'ils ont été principalement motivée par le mécontentement à propos traditionnelles églises
chrétiennes, d'une part et les organisations modernes du travail de l'autre. En raison de l'accent
mis en général sur les valeurs de liberté individuelle, nos répondants ont vu les deux
institutions comme ‘vides de sens’ et ‘aliénants’; ils de plus en plus sentiraient attirés par les
promesses de l’ auto-spiritualité humaniste. Dans la conclusion nous spéculons sur comment
et pourquoi la nouvelle, la ‘deuxième génération’ se tourne vers la spiritualité Nouvel Âge.</nl_mods:abstract>
