This project has inspired me to carry out the mission of transformation on so many levels. As I have mentioned previously in this paper, transformation of the inner and outer sacred space is a continuous process. If we want our learners to persist in their journeys towards understanding themselves, then we also need to generate new ideas, teaching methods, and activities for the students to explore their inner sacred space. After thinking about all these requirements for sacred space and establishment of a sense of self and sense of place, I cannot dismiss the need to identify how other cultures might view these as an aspect of being “fully human.” I also truly believe in the power of inner and outer sacred space and would like to support other programs in transforming their environments. Not only have I observed the transformation of the inner and outer sacred space of our students and program, but I also have experienced a transformation and deeper understanding of my own self.
We are becoming a visually nomadic people, hunting and gathering information. For better and for worse, once insurpassable boundaries no longer exist to the same degree. Without traditional boundaries to define our own place, it becomes more difficult to nourish a sense of home and personal space. We must define it, then, in mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical terms.” (Brady, 1996)
