    Pilgrimage walking and spiritual well-being: A case study of a personalised covid trail in Cape Town and surrounding areas
    (University of the Western Cape, 2023) Hannibal, Janine; Swart, Ignatius
    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.
