I found myself in a similar situation to yours (albeit not 100% the same). I won't go into great detail but ultimately I found myself with a similar pull to Catholicism. Dreams, other signs, and just a general interest. I came from a relatively secular Catholic family but I considered myself...
I think simple temples that are built in a way that is respectful to the landscape would be great. Preferably open air, lots of light, nothing to grandiose.
The image that comes to my head is a small open air circular building made of natural materials with perhaps a pool of fresh water in the...

No, the reason we have DIRs is for like minded discussion, likewise there are sections that allow multi faith debate of a topic. For example, if you have a questions say about the practice of a certain sect of a religion, say like the practice of Sunni Muslims, you'd find a valid and trustworthy...
