John and Linden discuss their experience and perspective of transformative learning in a powerful and far-ranging dialogue. They discuss transformative learning in relation to many different contexts and concepts, including: spaces for transformation; power in group dynamics; the need for both individual and collective in a meaningful change; intersubjective reflection; transformative learning as everyday lifelong learning; transformative learning as a stance toward being in the world; psychoanalysis; mythopoetic nature of the psyche; sensitivity towards complexity of learning; transformative learnings' alignment with mindfulness; critique of and concern about transformative learning today; how to meaningfully engage with soul work and the inner destructive qualities; transformative learning as realisation of transpersonal self-knowledge; transformative learning as hard and challenging work.
