Abstract

Facing multiple challenges, from coronavirus to climate degradation, we need to re-examine where we are now and ask how individuals, organisations and society can move forward to a better future. Attention to issues, such as ‘spirit’ and ‘spirituality’, is a vital part of this movement. Based on a model developed to encourage relational aspects of health care practice, we argue that the complexity of contemporary issues requires a holistic approach incorporating three different angles: organisational culture, personal development and specific spiritual competencies. We explore how our culture is out of balance and suggest ways to build a better future.
