This article is based on the premise that coexistence in classrooms must be an emotional dynamic shared within a space of mutual respect for oneself, one another, and each other’s activities. The paper proposes that the transformation of the participants must be developed in these healthy spaces, based on a complex perspective, in which the vital and learning processes are nestled in one single process. It also strives to alert on the urgent need to recover education’s true charm, by reconsidering the concept and meaning of life, in order to savor existence from a new paradigm where people work with their intellect, their heart, and life itself, in a higher state of harmony.References
