abstract	The authors, both collaborators with the Wilmette Institute, are learning what pedagogical principles can be gleaned from community-building and training processes in the global Bahá’í community and how to apply these principles in formal higher education. Worldviews are deceptively complex and impactful in learning processes. Therefore, the authors challenge dominant models shaped by materialism and partisan onto-epistemologies. Rejecting competency-based education, Wilmette Institute programs aim to build capacity for contributing to prevalent dis- courses informed by our approach to engaging with them through the Bahá’í-inspired evolving framework for collective learning. The Institute’s curriculum design encourages faculty and students to adopt a learning posture through an environment that fosters a humble, searching heart, pure motive, and willingness to transform.
