Learning with the Labyrinth: Creating Reflective Space in Higher Education

Description

This book discusses the theory and practice of labyrinth creation and use. From issues of design and cost, to how a labyrinth may be used as a university-wide resource and also be used for outreach to the wider community, it covers labyrinth use: - Within disciplines, such as initiatives to deepen reflection and explore contemplative approaches to learning - In wider university contexts, such as counselling; chaplaincy; learning and educational development; widening participation and student transition - Across the whole university, and reaching out to the wider community of which the university is a part, from the labyrinth as a conference resource (as well as topic), to festival contributions. Learning with the Labyrinth seeks to illustrate, inspire and share ideas that can be taken further by the reader.

Jan Sellers is a labyrinth facilitator and freelance lecturer, having recently retired from her role as Creative Learning Fellow at the University of Kent, UK. Bernard Moss is Emeritus Professor of Social Work Education and Spirituality at Staffordshire University, UK.
