Description:
What does the idea of ‘pilgrimage’ have to offer as a pattern of lived experiences? How do narratives affect the spiritual aspects and whole of the bio-psychosocial-spiritual model? How does this pattern open up narratives for crisis, change, and meaning?
In this Psychological Humanities and Ethics lecture, Elie will discuss pilgrimage, its resonances in contemporary life – in religion and psychology -- and its application to psychological experiences. For the four protagonists of Paul Elie’s prizewinning book The Life You Save May Be Your Own – Dorothy Day, Thomas Merton, Walker Percy, and Flannery O’Connor -- pilgrimage is a pattern of experience and the interior life. Drawing on their lives and their writing, Elie has identified a “pattern of pilgrimage” that applies to us in our own lives – and that draws on motifs from American and European history, Christian and Muslim traditions, and rich motifs of the sacred journey and journey of towards meaning.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation the participant will be able to:
- Describe the pattern of “pilgrimage” - as it applies to the interior life and psychological experiences
- Analyze the context and lineage of pilgrimage - as connections to culture, history, and environmental contexts
