This book is about the role of religious and spiritual experiences in people’s understanding of their environment, and how their place experiences are transformed in the process. We will examine how understandings and experiences of religious and place connections are motivated by the need to seek and maintain contact with perceptual objects, so as to form meaningful relationship experiences. The purpose is not to engage in comparative religion or analyse different religious traditions in relation to place, but rather to understand how people’s perceptions of physical, imaginary and transpersonal objects shape their religious and place experiences.
