As I stated previously, we can no longer simply adapt to the world around us. We are involved in a continual search for meaning, not just in the facts and information piled up on our desks at work. People have an intrinsic need to make sense of the world around them. In fact, I believe that this need has been amplified in the face of increasingly advancing technology and complexity. In this evermore fast paced world, there seems to be a renewed interest in spirituality and self-discovery.

Soul learning involves drawing our attention to the quality of experiencing life and ourselves, leading to greater levels of self-awareness and consciousness of society.

Critical reflection is the process that lies at the core of transformative learning.
