Progressive vocational educators believe that youth must appropriate a set of humanizing values devoted to sociotechnical reform. Yet we forget about the inner work necessary to build democratic organizations: caring people are essential to a viable and vigorous public life. The author turns to holistic education for insight into how vocational educators might think about good work and educational reconstructions. By profiling the thinking of Matthew Fox (1995) in The Reinvention of Work, and Parker Palmer (1990) in The Active Life, we learn that spirituality leads to self-discovery through vocation.
