Kelli Nigh is a Sessional Lecturer in the Curriculum and Pedagogy, Wellbeing Emphasis, at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto. After exploring consciousness with students in her drama class, she attended OISE as an MA and PhD student. She now teaches two courses at OISE, Spirituality in Education and Nature and Learning. Mysterious anomalies arose in her classes, and she found the field of holistic education a theoretical and practical ground on which to seriously investigate the relationship between spiritual experience, the body and the imagination. As a social activist Kelli co-chaired Voices for the Luminous Veil, a group that worked with Toronto City Council to improve public awareness of the Toronto suicide barrier. She is author of Learning in Nature, a book that chronicles her mind-body experimentation with students. Kelli is editor of Current Perspectives in Holistic Education at Information Age Publishing.

The Transformative Learning Foundation is a leading facilitator for wisdom in education, awakening potential for the evolution of our consciousness. Since the beginning of compulsory education, the definition of what learning looks like has become increasingly narrow with each passing decade. In the past 20 years, there has been greater emphasis on compliance, following the prescribed curriculum, direct instruction, and standardized testing.
Antioch University’s MA in Individualized Studies, Social Sciences is proud to offer a concentration in Transformative Learning Communities, in partnership with the Transformative Learning Foundation.
