Итог:Multiple forms of learning that seek inspiration from religion and spirituality are found alongside more formal learning institutions in contemporary Western societies. Familiarization with spiritual well-being often takes place in introductory courses and workshops, which usually incorporate various study materials – for example, course manuals. This article examines the use of learning materials within well-being spirituality by studying course materials for singing bowl sound relaxation, together with ethnographic data. The analysis builds on a thematic analysis that draws on studies of self-help literature and the notions of formal and nonformal learning, which help to further our understanding of self-help literature as a potentially important if largely unacknowledged source for learning. Our main argument is that singing bowl course materials in multiple ways express entanglements of secular and spiritual pedagogics and shed light on the place and role of contemporary spirituality in the wider frame of continuous adult learning.
