| This book acknowledges that spirituality
is an integral part of adult learning and development. Building on the history of adult education and training, which is laced with spiritual themes and motivations, the authors suggest that the profession needs to recover some of its early concerns for holistic, spiritually informed, and socially responsible practice. Adult educators and trainers need this text which addresses all facets of spirituality and assists them in making pedagogical choices. The authors challenge readers to
examine their own spirituality before and while they are nurturing the spirituality of learners. Here educators and trainers can explore new ways to make sense of their own spiritual lives and those of their students. Chapters include: Introducing Spirituality, Reconciling Difference: Different Dimensions and Approaches to Spirituality, Developing Our Spirituality, Spirituality in the Work of the Educator and Trainer, Spirituality in the Workplace, and Adult Educators and Trainers as
Leaders of Change. |
