“…Therefore, when the elderly respondents participated in the religious activity, they gained sufficient benefits of leisure activities due to the rest environment and epidemic prevention measures during the pilgrimage. This phenomenon is consistent with the results in the literature [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 21 , 58 , 62 , 63 ]. However, because the virus spreads fast and the Baishatun Mazu pilgrimage route change could occur any time, the huge crowd of participants could not be sure that they would be able to rest in the places arranged by the organizer.…”

“…Therefore, when the elderly participate in religious tourist activities, the scenery, religious atmosphere, and activity-related goods along the way can make them forget about environmental risks to tourists. This phenomenon is consistent with the results in the literature [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 21 , 58 , 62 ]. However, uncertainties involve risks such as epidemic infection and accidents during tourist activities.…”

“…Therefore, when the elderly respondents participated in religious tourist activities, they felt relaxed and enjoyed relief from headaches. This phenomenon is consistent with the results in the literature [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 21 , 58 , 62 , 63 , 86 ]. However, the COVID-19 pandemic situation was severe, the virus spreads fast, there are a large number of chronically ill patients in Taiwan, overall vaccination rate was low, the intentions of the elderly to get vaccines were weak, and overall immunity to the virus was insufficient.…”

“…It is a systemic sum of symbols or sounds commonly recognized by human beings in the process of continuous evolution, a phenomenon, and a manifestation of mentality or habit [ 16 ]. Religion is an obsession that occurs when people worship a person, thing, or object that is natural or transcendent and satisfies their physical or psychological needs [ 16 , 17 ]. It tends to make individuals passionate about this culture, which leads to unshakeable beliefs and eventually becomes a common belief of individuals or communities [ 17 ] or a special cultural phenomenon [ 18 ].…”

The purpose of this study is to explore whether religious tourism activities can create a safe leisure environment and improve the well-being of the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the participants in the Baishatun Mazu pilgrimage in Taiwan as the subjects of this study. A mixed research method was used. First, statistical software and the Pearson product-–moment correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data. Then the respondents’ opinions were collected. Finally, a multivariate analysis method was used to discuss the results of analysis. The findings showed that the elderly respondents thought that the epidemic prevention information and leisure space planning for the pilgrimage made them feel secure. The elderly believed the scenery, religious atmosphere, and commodities en route could reduce the perception of environmental risks to tourists, relieve pressure on the brain, and increase social opportunities. Therefore, the friendlier the leisure environment around the pilgrimage, the greater the leisure satisfaction among the elderly respondents. The happier the elderly felt, the less they considered the concentration of airborne contaminants, including viruses. The better their physical and mental health was, the less likely they were to want to ask for religious goods.

Wellbeing of international students is an extensively explored topic in international education discourses. A plethora of research has been devoted to general wellbeing of international students. Nevertheless, little is known about international students’ spiritual wellbeing which can be pivotal to their adaptation to the new environment. In the context of New Zealand higher education, utilizing an intrinsic single case study design, this study examined spiritual wellbeing experienced by Indian international students. Phenomenographic interviews were conducted with 13 Indian students who were studying management courses at postgraduate level in an institute of technology in a North Island city of New Zealand. Data analysis generated three dimensions (spiritual cognition, spiritual practice, spiritual efficacy) of spiritual wellbeing which were influenced by four strategies of adaptation (connection, isolation, accommodation, integration). This study provided new insights into the experiences of international students which may influence international education in the long run.

In this paper, the archetype of the Child is considered as a psychological presence that fosters creativity and relationality for individuals and groups. The capacity for integrating the shadow aspect of human nature is a crucial psychological solution for reducing harmful biases and projections that negatively impact the subtle and emergent potential of the archetypal presence of the Child, along with the experience of actual children. A working hypothesis is that attentive listening to the voice of the divine child within each person supports processes of personal growth and spiritual transformation, in so doing mending the woundings of colonization and traumas inflicted by families and cultural systems. A Jungian perspective reveals a wound: the forgetting, through abuse or neglect, of the human relationship with the divine child archetype. The problem, from a Jungian perspective, becomes perilous, psychologically speaking: A person cut off from the child has no access to the bridge back to the Self, which cannot be discovered without the animating presence of the divine child. With the re-membering of the archetypal child in mind, the paper places emphasis on engaging with transpersonal forces that serve what Jung believed to be the religious function of the psyche. Jungian practitioners in community-based endeavors strive through arts-based practices to facilitate the integration of shadow aspects, as well as methods that seek to decolonize minoritized and marginalized frameworks and promote multiple ways of knowing.
