Sacred Journeys Network

Established in 2014, the Sacred Journeys Network welcomes pilgrimage scholars and practitioners from all walks of life to its annual conference as well as to local and online events celebrating one of humankind's most ancient practices.. Pilgrimage is associated with a great variety of religious and spiritual traditions, beliefs, and sacred geographies. As a truly global phenomenon, pilgrimage facilitates interaction among diverse peoples from countless cultures, and occupations. In our gatherings, we explore the concept of travel for transformation, for growth, and for becoming. We welcome conversations that help explain journeys through lenses that respect the sacred as understood within any given community or tradition. No one academic discipline controls our conversations and interdisciplinary approaches to the study of sacred journeys enrich us all.

Core Focus: Pilgrimage and Religious Tourism
