An inductive approach and content analysis were applied to achieve this purpose. The essentials, principles, and techniques of the soulful curriculum were extracted from Miller’s perspective, and finally, the critical components of the soulful curriculum were inferred and explained by integrating the essentials, principles and techniques of Miller’s Curriculum. Accordingly, we reviewed Millers’ two seminal works called Holistic Education and Education and the Soul: Toward a Spiritual Curriculum.  \nThe cause for selecting these two works was comprehensiveness and consistency in expressing John Miller’s ideas fundamental to orientation. By integrating the results, the essential components of the soulful curriculum were categorized into six dimensions: holism, introspection, naturalism, connectivism, balancing, and energization.  \nKeywords: soulful curriculum, holism, naturalism, connection, John Miller  \nIntroduction  \nA soulful curriculum attempts to find some ways for identifying students’talents (Nutall, 2006; Miller, 2019). Encountering such a curriculum, students can obtain an opportunity to find out some questions about the meaning and destination of life, glorification of joyfulness and beauty, appreciation of vitality, development of creative capacities, identification of the limitations in some dimensions of a specified curriculum, social evolution, and ability to pass through life’s phases calmly and without tension (Nutall, 2006). Using soulful elements, such as meditation, imagination, contemplation and presence in the curriculum has many positive effects such as decreasing teachers’ and students’ distress, increasing concentration, enhancing safe interpersonal relations, raising awareness of self and others, truly encountering negative feelings, increasing positive feelings such as joyfulness and passion, decreasing addictive and destructive behaviours, improving career, sport and educational performance, motivating, and increasing creativity and positive change in the brain structure (Irwin & Miller, 2016). By considering the soul as a source for energy and providing necessary arrangements in the way of morale boosting, it is possible to elicit expansion of the soul in curriculum. The soul is an energy source in human beings and causes motive and vitality. The deepest feelings and tendencies are located in the soul, and when discovered and  \n*  \nPhD Candidate, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran.  \n±Associate Professor, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran (corresponding author) .‡Professor, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran.  \n[https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.9-3-6](https://doi.org/10.30958/aje.9-3-6) doi=10.30958/aje.9-3-6  \ntruly applied, a deep satisfaction will be generated (Miller, 2000) . When the soul is being ignored, students are converted into automated robots or templates so that their minds will be inactively filled with teachers’ knowledge (Peterson, 1999).  \nAs noted by Miller (1996), a mechanistic view on education results in the absence of joyfulness and vitality in the learning process. Curriculum is a living entity and it is a must to avoid supposing it as a map (Pinar, 2011) . It is instead achievable by creating the beauty of soulful learning in the classroom (Sierk, 2014). Keeping distance from the meaning of curriculum as a map stems from the notion \"currere\" which distinguishes this reality that each student had his or her own special past, present and future, and to let the special nature of each student shape his or her life and practices in the classroom.
