METHOD: To measure whether the spirituality of the focus group (participants of Total Immersion course) is present and in which quality and quantity was used the method of scale enquiry and the method of free word assosiations and uncompleted clauses. RESULTS: The participants of the TI course tend to experience the spirituality for 75%.
