GECC 3130 Exploration and Discovery: Spirituality Enhancement: A Life Quest Journey (2024/25, Term 2)

“Spirituality is about developing a more authentic identity, which is about meaning making and a sense of wholeness, healing, and the interconnectedness of all things. Spirituality is about an individual’s journey toward wholeness.”

Derise E. Tolliver and Elizabeth J. Tisdell (2006)
