Abstract What does religion in rural Malawi have to teach us about spirituality more broadly? If spirituality is the experience of the self as connected directly to the sacred, rural Malawi fosters intense religiosity, but often muffles spirituality. Nonetheless, where spirituality pushes up through the undergrowth of practical religious concerns, we see some of what the spiritual does for Malawians, and for us as well: it replenishes and revitalizes the inner resources of the self by linking the self to transcendent sources of power and meaning. Based on interviews and participant observation conducted in Malawi, this chapter focuses on the meaning-making process of spirituality and shows how the experience of the self is connected directly to the sacred. The analysis of this process has implications for our understanding of spirituality in other parts of the world as well.
