5. Here is an article about transformational learning which is written in the context of a discussion about application to complementary and alternative medicine. The discussion of the literature is interesting, especially the discussion of Prof Bache's "subtle energeteic resonance." That really is an entry point into a discussion about God's Spirit and its work in transforming hearts and minds within a group.

One of the most provocative discussions of environment, subject matter, and learning activities relating to transformational learning was proposed by Youngstown State University professor Bache (n.d.). He described a “subtle energetic resonance” that spontaneously rises in learning circles. He identified this psychic field that surrounds and saturates the learning environment as inclusive of the teacher's personal energy field and the energy field created by all the participants. He stated that the stronger and more focused this mental field, the more likely that change would be induced among participants. Bache also believed that certain types of subject matter were particularly conducive to transformational learning, for example, inquiries into the origins and destinies of individual existence, mind exploration, the mysteries of human suffering and purpose, and other universal questions.
