Description
Pilgrimage and Healing brings together anthropological and interdisciplinary perspectives to explore the role of traditional pilgrimage in modern society. This volume focuses on the healing dimensions of pilgrimage, presenting case studies from diverse cultures and traditions. The authors examine various forms of pilgrimage, including religious and non-religious practices, such as Nepalese shamanism, Catholic journeys to shrines, and the Burning Man festival. These examples illustrate the range of meanings associated with healing in pilgrimage, from physical cures to redressing social suffering and personal transformation. By examining these diverse cases, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the therapeutic resources that pilgrimage provides for people around the world.
