摘要

Following the success of the Enterprise Educators UK Research Project (Wylie A, Tomasella B, Walid Al Saad W, Kelleher O, Inspiring a sustainability mindset in enterprise education. IEEC2024, 2024) to develop a toolkit based on The Sustainability Mindset Principles (SMP), developed by Rimanoczy (The sustainability mindset principles: a guide to developing a mindset for a better world. London: Routledge, 2020), a workshop was delivered at the Symposium “Sustainability and Spirituality: Building Ecologies of Hope” convened at Canterbury Christ Church University (Sustainability and spirituality: building ecologies of hope, symposium, 11th–12th of September 2025, 2025) to explore the three SMP principles related to spiritual intelligence. The workshop used art to engage workshop participants to surface feelings (felt sense) and then related these to Purpose, Oneness with Nature, and Mindfulness, the three SMP principles related to spiritual intelligence. Participant thoughts and feelings were initially explored by surfacing reactions to the famous painting Hope, by the nineteenth-century artist George Frederic Watts. The symbolism of this painting was discussed in relation to the theme of the symposium, and related to research on Empathy, Compassion and Connectedness to Nature (Moon, Entrepreneurship and sustainability: plugging the green skills gap with empathy, compassion and connectedness to nature. In Entrepreneurship, institutional framework and support mechanisms in the EU, Emerald Publishing Limited, 2021, pp 177–194). The use of art, imagery, and deep learning strategies was then shown to help cultivate spiritual intelligence through the SMP dimensions of “thinking, being, and doing” based on a case study where business students reflect on sustainability issues through the triadic approach of intellect, emotions, and values (Rimanoczy, Cultivating a sustainability mindset.
