or more individuals who are singularly and jointly focused upon a unified discovery of their spiritual purpose and destiny. It is "sacred" because it involves divine knowledge as well as divine outcomes. It is a "journey" because it involves and embraces movement and change and it can occupy the entirety of our lives to pursue. Sacred Journeys are not measured by mile markers, nor are they to be considered as a collection of accumulated experiences. Certainly, time is a factor, and along the journey, there will be memorable experiences, but what makes it "sacred" is its proximity to a knowledge of the divine. The journey will include an exposure to religious literature. It will ponder moral standards. It will include an examination of social and cultural structures. It will ask questions for the purpose of discovering truth. When I refer to a Sacred Journey, I'm not referring to a religious pilgrimage. A religious pilgrimage is very much centered upon the destination more than the journey. Sacred Journeys are those endeavors that involve one or more individuals who are singularly and jointly focused upon a unified discovery of their spiritual purpose and destiny.
