Expanding Transformative Learning Contexts

Labyrinths are ancient meditative tools with current applications in transformative learning. The most commonly cited effects of using the labyrinth are relaxation, peacefulness, reflectiveness, clarity, and reduced stress and anxiety. These effects connect directly to transformative learning through reflection, well-being, and inspiration. In this session, we will provide an introduction to the labyrinth with details about its history, uses, and connection to transformative learning. Then, we will provide specific examples of how the labyrinth is currently being used to expand transformative learning contexts in higher education. Finally, the session will end with an interactive labyrinth experience emphasizing creativity and inspiration.
