The Holistic Health Learning Center offers valuable self-care resources in one location — integrating personal, social and environmental aspects of health. This integrated focus of self, others and earth — combines knowledge from the sciences, the creative arts and ancient wisdom traditions to encourage holistic inquiry and healthy living.
The Center, which serves as a home and a hub for the IHHS, offers an interactive learning environment where people, ideas and values meet and evolve. It is a place to learn about new modes of thinking and relating — a place where students learn to expand the conventional assumptions of medicine, education, philosophy and politics and take this expanded knowledge into personal life and community activism. Information areas include:
- Alternative Health Careers
- The Arts in Healing, Education and Cultural Change
- Complementary and Alternative Medical Therapies
- Ecology and Sustainable Living
- Exploring and Applying the World’s Wisdom Traditions
- Mind-Body Skills
- Movement and Touch Therapies
- Social Health and Community Development Skills
- Spiritual/Transpersonal Consciousness and Development
