| dc.description.abstract | Pilgrimage, walking, as well as pilgrimage walking are not new concepts. The art of walking,
putting one foot before the other, creates many opportunities, including ones for hope, healing,
and finding solutions to problems and challenges. Despite the global scope of extant research
on pilgrimage, the scholarly focus on pilgrimage walking within the South African context is
scanty. Much has been written about urban and rural walking as well as pilgrimage in general,
though. Pilgrimage within the South African context took on various forms but my research
introduced the concept of a steps challenge and mapping out a personalised COVID trail. The
aim of my study was to explore pilgrimage walking as an intervention for spiritual well-being
by focusing on a personalised COVID-19 pilgrimage in Cape Town and its surrounding areas.
My study steered towards determining the correlation between spiritual well-being and
pilgrimage walking. | en_US |
