Parker Palmer - Education as Spiritual Journey

This is a short summary of Parker Palmer's theorizing of education as spiritual journey. Instead of education as means to control, he suggests education as authentic spiritual journey should focus on opening ourselves to truth while embracing diverse perspectives. He emphasizes the inward journey, participating in a community of truth, and offers six paradoxes that should be present in learning.
