ABSTRACT
I met Rachael Kessler in 1997 at a conference in Boulder, Colorado, on Spirituality in Education and again in 2000. I knew education had come to a new and exciting crossroads when The Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) devoted the January 1999 issue to spirituality in education and then published Kessler’s The Soul of Education: Helping Students Find Connection, Compassion, and Character at School (2000). I find Rachael thoughtful, aware, and dedicated. She is a highly engaging presenter whose workshops we have sponsored for several years in Seattle through The Heritage Institute. The PassageWays Institute, which Rachael founded, is accessible online at: https://www.mediatorsfoundation.org/isel/institute.html.
