About the Sacred Journeys Network
Established in 2014, the annual Sacred Journeys conference celebrates the study and practice of pilgrimage on the local and global stage. One of the most ancient practices of humankind, pilgrimage is associated with a great variety of religious and spiritual traditions, beliefs, and sacred geographies.
As a global phenomenon, pilgrimage facilitates interaction among diverse peoples from countless cultures, occupations, and walks of life. In our annual conference, we explore the concept of travel for transformation. We welcome presentations that help explain the practice of real journeys under lenses that respect the sacred as understood within a community or tradition. No one academic discipline controls our conversations and interdisciplinary approaches enrich us all.
Core Focus: Pilgrimage and Religious Tourism
