This monograph aims to uncover value-belief-systems underlying
dominant narratives in modern IHEs, impacting the lives of many
multidimensional adult learners. To do so, Eurocentrism and
neoliberalism are used to analyze the socio-culturalpolitical
movements of the U.S. and its influence on higher education trends.
Then, models of adult consciousness and transformative approaches
to adult learning are introduced to problematize dominant
narratives and make the case for more complex epistemologies. With
critical contemplation, acts of compassion for interdependence,
self-compassion for intentionality, authentic relationships for
political consciousness, listening for non-duality, and mindfulness
for impermanence (CALM) are introduced as ways to emphasize
self-transformation and self-actualization. CALM practice is just
one way to join others in the social justice work of wholeness and
humanity to better support multidimensional adult learners. Along
with this understanding comes the potential to disrupt dominant
narratives with a moral stance, honoring innate human value and the
diverse human condition. The future of institutions of higher
education must be guided by a moral position in the name of healing
and wellness. Together, we can transform higher education so that
institutions are a place where adult learners create the conditions
of freedom to actualize the right to self-worth, the liberty to
connect with others, and the pursuit of personal fulfillment,
honoring this nations guiding principles of life, liberty, and
happiness.
