spiritualization

Explanation:
Termenul este foarte complex.
In gandirea si practica ortodoxa, scopul vietii umane este dobandirea Duhului Sfant, adica indumnezeirea (theosis) omului, acesta fiind si termenul consacrat in limba engleza.

Poate este prea mult in contextul tau, fiind vorba de educatia copiilor, de aceea propun spiritualization, care este folosit si de PS Kallistos Ware in cartea sa de extraordinara valoare apologetica, The Orthodox Way:
"in spiritualizing the body, man does thereby not dematerialize it: on the contrary, it is the human vocation to ***manifest the spiritual in and through the material***."
