Increasingly, we live in a time when leisure is valued. A basic aspiration of all humans is the desire to pursue ones interests in a fashion that promotes meaningfulness, relevance and value to their life. Leisure provides opportunities to enhance and enlarge choice and freedom in the daily decisions one makes. Leisure is valued for many reasons, not the least of which is the opportunity to engage in freely-chosen life experiences. As such, leisure is a powerful vehicle that has potential for improving, nourishing and sustaining an individual through their life’s journey. Today, as individuals and whole societies, we are faced with rapid, random and discontinuous change. The whirl of change has resulted in a very dynamic, fluid environment that demands from individuals and societies the ability to engage in the process of transformation. To transform or change, one must be free or unencumbered from the constraints that are imposed in seeking a new way of being. Leisure provides an optimal opportunity for such transformation or change.
