Holistic Learning at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education Holistic education is rooted in holism, or the concept of an interconnected reality. Holistic instructional strategies include visualization, cooperative learning, creative problem solving strategies and drama. However, holistic education avoids emphasis on one particular technique but instead stresses a multi-level approach to education that acknowledges interdependence and connectedness.

Naropa University offers a BA in Early Childhood Education and MA in Contemplative Education. Naropa's contemplative education programs infuse teaching and learning with wisdom, reverence, and delight.

As teachers develop clarity and compassion in relation to their inner experiences, their students, and their curriculum, then meaningful, holistic learning naturally flourishes. The contemplative approach inspires openness, inquisitiveness, and kindness to oneself and others.

Integral Institute is dedicated to the proposition that partial and piecemeal approaches to complex problems are ineffective. Whether addressing individual and personal issues of meaning and transformation, or increasingly complex social problems such as war, hunger, disease, over-population, housing, ecology, and education, partial and fragmented approaches need to be replaced by solutions that are more comprehensive, systematic, encompassing—and integral.

The Transformative Learning Centre

Transformative learning involves experiencing a deep, structural shift in basic premises of thought, feelings, and actions. It is a shift of consciousness that dramatically and permanently alters our way of being in the world. Such a shift involves our understanding of ourselves and our self-locations; our relationships with other humans and with the natural world; our understanding of relations of power in interlocking structures of class, race and gender; our body awarenesses; our visions of alternative approaches to living; and our sense of possibilities for social justice and peace and personal joy.
