Uncertainty in our country concerning the state of public education crosses the spectrum of geographical locations and spiritual orientations. Questions regarding how to better educate children today have prompted new ideas, but one historical proposal warrants reconsideration now. In his 1994 book, The Universal Schoolhouse: Spiritual Awakening Through Education, James Moffett addressed issues central to contemporary debates. He championed freedom of choice and decried curriculum censorship within the school system. He advocated for collaboration between citizens and institutions to achieve communal involvement and individual engagement in the educative process. And, he argued that meaningful inquiry and personal growth are vital for development of an evolved and enlightened society. This is what sets Moffett’s vision for education reform apart from other programs; educational reformation is situated within the context of societal transformation. With emphasis upon individuality, community, and spirituality, Moffett’s unique approach to teaching and learning reflected his singular approach to working and living. Coupled with a perspective of cosmological unity, James Moffett reconfigured the model for public education which redefined both its process and its purpose. Utilizing the concept of mythopoesis – myth-making narratives which highlight imaginal knowing – I find that Moffett’s ‘universal schoolhouse’ idea speaks to concerns in current discussion regarding schools and society. Moffett problem-solved through concrete, research rich knowledge and relied upon abstract, intuitively inspired interpretations which resonates with the mythopoetic. Therefore, mythopoesis is the hermeneutical key to understanding Moffett’s life, work, and vision, and for considering new approaches to education reform. Moffett and mythopoesis together provide a framework for modern-day narratives concerning educational processes and purposes. Training students for political and corporate utility which satisfies projected learning outcomes is a limited way to manage public education. Schooling citizens for individual and communal development that motivates meaning-seeking to make sense of the world holds unlimited possibility. Examining Moffett’s imaginal schoolhouse reveals that he looked beyond management and standardization and promoted interpretation and exploration. Acquainting ourselves with Moffett’s work and life helps us to look beyond assumptions about locality and spirituality to consider the transformational, the meaningful, and the universal as exemplified by Moffett’s mythopoetic model for education.

Today more than ever, we need an ethnography of spirit so we can identify and describe how spirit dwells and how it communicates. Our lives and our humanity depend on making the connection to spirit more visible and concrete to ourselves, to those we love, and to those we fail to understand. Educators have a special role to play in making the connection to spirit more visible and concrete. In this vital new book, a wide range of scholars and educators share stories about their own personal calls to spirituality. From the Amazon to the coast of Ireland, from the Talmud to the Book of Mormon, and in classrooms across the world, contributors explore the scenes in which spirit lives through insightful autoethnographic research and reporting. Spirituality, Ethnography, and Teaching is dedicated to the journey to the heart of teaching and learning. Each chapter reveals that spirituality, ethnography, and teaching are linked concretely in our experience of and desire for freedom. This collection of stories invites the reader to share in a way of knowing that discloses a radical union in which freedom, communication, and spirit coalesce. This ethnography of spirit calls upon the reader to dwell more deeply in the humanness of life and vocation and to let love flow.

This book collects multiple disciplinary voices which explore current research and perspectives to discuss how spirituality is understood, interpreted and applied in a range of contexts. It addresses spirituality in combination with such topics as Christian mysticism, childhood and adolescent education, midwifery, and sustainability. It links spirituality to a variety of disciplines, including cognitive neuroscience, sociology, and psychology. Finally, it discusses the application of spirituality within the context of social work, teaching, health care, and occupational therapy. A final chapter provides an analytical discussion of the different voices that appear in the book and offers a holistic description of spirituality which has the potential to bring some unity to the meaning, expression and practice of spirituality across a variety of disciplines as well as across cultural, religious and secular worldviews. "A strength of the book is that each chapter is characterized by a fearless confronting of oppositional perspectives and use of the latest research in addressing them. The book takes the difficult topic of spirituality into almost every nook and cranny of personal and professional life. There is a persistent grasping of the contentiousness of the topic, together with addressing counter positions and utilizing updated research across a range of fields in doing this. The opening and closing chapters serve as book ends that keep the whole volume together."Terence Lovat, The University of Newcastle, Australia "The interdisciplinary nature of the work is by far the strongest aspect of this volume. It has the potential to contribute to a dialogue between different professions and disciplines. This prospective publication promises to promote a more holistic approach to the study of spirituality. This volume takes into consideration a wide variety of issues. The way the editors have structured the sequence of chapters contributes to facilitate any possible dialogue between the different areas."Adrian-Mario Gellel, University of Malta, Malta

This book explores the concept and facilitation of critical reflection and its implications for professional practice. It draws on the author’s own extensive experience to demonstrate how reflective processes involving metaphor and imagery, as well as critique, can be used not only to understand and articulate key values underpinning professional practice and to generate new theoretical models, but to explore one's own worldview, including the ultimate question: 'Who am I?’. The author incorporates practical examples of reflection-through-writing and other reflective techniques which illustrate how ideas about critical reflection, transformative learning, authenticity and spirituality are intricately entwined within theories and practices of adult learning and professional development. The book highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between personal worldviews, values and professional practice. It draws on the concepts of vocation and professional psychological wellbeing to consider what it means to act authentically as a professional within an audit culture. The book will be invaluable for practitioners, academics and students interested in critical reflection, educational inquiry, autoethnography and the use of the self in and as research, the nature and use of metaphor, and the development of worldviews.
