Titelbeschreibung

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.
