The purpose of this article is to share early results from an ongoing literature review intended to (a) explore the intersection of spiritual formation, aging, and lifelong learning, (b) situate this intersection within profound learning theory, and (c) develop a rich understanding and conceptual model which characterizes the qualities and processes of spiritual formation in later life. We argue that spiritual formation is a subset of profound learning which occurs over the life course. Additionally, we make the case that spiritual formation benefits those later and even at the end of life and should, therefore, be considered a promising arena for research and practice in our field.
