This book boldly re-frames the basis of our collective approach to education. It presents a compelling argument for an educational world-view that perceives self, society and the universe as an undivided whole—a holarchy of wholes within wholes, wheels within wheels. Soul in education is an international movement rooted in the holistic education paradigm. It challenges us, individually and collectively, to re-ensoul our educational thinking and practice from the inside out. At the heart of this educational world-view is an appreciation of the spiritual presence of the soul as the source self that exists beyond the surface appearance of personality and infuses an individual with positive, transformative qualities that energise lifelong learning and creative living. The essays in this book describe practices that attend to the cultivation of the soul in a range of educational contexts. Written by holistic educators from around the globe, they build a picture of education that develops a multidimensional understanding of self and other. Through creativity, paradox and mystery teachers invite the emergence of soul qualities in themselves and learners: qualities such as joy, justice, caring, ethics, compassion and tolerance—providing the vital basis for the creation of a more equitable social reality in the 21st century and beyond.
