| Summary: | "The construct of transformation has emerged as a prominent theme in academic discourse. Based on the accepted notion that processes and living organisms are in an ongoing state of development, it is unsurprising that this concept of transformation would find resonance within literature on the pilgrimage phenomenon. Examples of transformational processes intersecting with pilgrimage are the movement from sickness to wellness, from grief to closure and from fractured to integrated. That the pilgrimage journey itself can be construed as a transformational quest was noted by Winkleman and Dubisch (2005), who stated 'Life-transforming experiences are at the core of both 'traditional' and more contemporary forms of pilgrimage'. In the current volume, Warfield and Hetherington examine the transformational process of pilgrimage journeys"-- Introduction: pilgrimage as transformative process / Heather A.
