Beskrivning

The Whole Person: Embodying Teaching and Learning through Lectio and Visio Divina offers readers a rich collection of voices from diverse settings that illustrates the ways in which lectio divina as a contemplative practice can transform teaching and learning.Growing from ancient roots, lectio divina as a contemplative practice and part of contemplative pedagogy, aligns with many efforts in the 21st century to investigate how whole persons can be engaged in learning and how they can develop into their best human selves.Lectio divina, a four-step process of deep reading and viewing, is aligned with the tenets of holistic education; it is an evolving tapestry of embodied learning, creating spaces that empower teachers and students to be rooted in their own meaning making and to develop as whole persons. Lectio divina holds power to help people develop agency and voice in troubling times, all the while understanding themselves as human beings in a hyper-complex world. Using lectio divina in the classroom educates the whole person evoking the mind, spirit and body in a transformative learning experience.

Recensioner i media

With essays that resonate the energy and hope of education, this wonderful book reminds us of what is still possible in a world where we seem to have lost the depth of vision and the direction of a flourishing life. The essays celebrate the awakening of the whole person, the way teaching and learning can become a transforming practice. The focus is on lectio divina, an ancient practice for modern times, a way to enhance deep reading, excite social justice, make words matter, contemplate the beauty and truth of visual images. We all need to slow down and read this interesting book.
