You may have experienced engaging with the conditions for human flourishing as both a cognitive, creative and embodied experience. You will have identified how we have focused on using both cognitive and creative approaches to writing and reflecting on our flourishing as persons. There is a growing literature on ‘critical creative practices’ (cf. Titchen 2013; Titchen and Horsfall 2011; Titchen and McCormack 2008, 2010; Titchen and McMahon 2013) that enables an opening up of our senses and capacity for embodied holistic learning, growth, development and ultimately to transform as persons. Many of these practices are well known and essentially ask us to (re)engage with our innate creative qualities as persons – qualities that expand and extend the horizon of our potentials to flourish, our humanness and capacity as spiritual beings. It is these qualities that surface our moral virtues as persons, bring our personhood to our and others consciousness, create meaning and ultimately build commuinities that are inherently person‐centred.

To be truly happy in this world is a revolutionary act because true happiness depends on a revolution in ourselves.
