This book pushes the boundaries of geographies of religion to bring questions of spirituality into focus. By seeing religion through the lens of practice rather than as a set of beliefs, geographies of religion can be interpreted much more widely, bringing a whole range of other spiritual practices to light. This book explores the spirit of place, spaces of spiritualist, spiritual practices and spirit, politics and social change. This landmark book not only captures a significant moment in geographies of spirituality, but acts as a catalyst for future work.
