Transformative Learning

Transformative learning is:

Transformative Learning (what it is) Transformative learning is a form of adult education involving experiences that result in a deep, structural shift in thoughts and feelings, which then inform one's actions. This shift in consciousness can be very subtle or quite extraordinary. Often, it alters our way of making meaning and being in the world. Such a deep-seated shift involves our understanding and our relationships with other people, the natural world, and ourselves.
Transformative Learning In Practice Whether transformative learning is approached through a conscious rational process or a more intuitive, imaginative or spiritual one, it fosters and develops capacities that invite people to live more meaningfully. It can also provide ways to invite the power of the intellect to join the wisdom of the heart. Expanding and evolving human consciousness supports social transformation that embodies joy, peace and equity for all people.
