Vol. 52, No. 1: Special Theme Issue: Environments for Retreat and Pilgrimage
The experience of retreat—removing one’s self from the world, or embarking on a spiritual journey (most often in the form of pilgrimage)—has been a spiritual discipline for millennia. How is the experience of retreat supported through architecture and art? How can the creation of space and its adornment propel one on a spiritual journey? The first issue of 2019 will explore how environments aid and enhance the retreat and pilgrimage experience.
