What is the relationship between adult learning and spiritual transformation? How can we promote spiritual growth when designing workshops and discussion groups, and when framing events that arise spontaneously in our meetings? Identify possible links between the Quaker process of discernment and the hallmarks of adult learning and development, such as a toleration of uncertainty, changing ideas of authority and self, and the ability to think critically. Consider scenarios that often arise in Quaker settings and practice designing learning experiences that encourage transformation.
$360/private room; $285/shared room; $200/commuter.
