In a world of poor mental health, increasing pressure on schools and results and young people, culture wars, social media, how can spirituality provide one antidote to the social issues we face?

In this chat with Bob Bowie, we explore what we mean by spirituality and how neuro science is discovering the benefits of spiritual practices. we unpack three ways spirituality can underpin what we do in schools to support our young people;

• Threading it through our curriculum
• Supporting the spiritual growth of our children (and staff)
• Using spiritual pedagogical practices

Spirituality is indiscriminate but needs defined language which RE has a unique position to create. Listen to the end for the wonderful story of Saint Ignatius who started the Jesuit movement.

There are four links we mention in the chat;
