Health Education As a Pillar of Self Mastery
Health education is the backbone of our curriculum and serves as a framework for supporting each students self awareness and physical vitality. By equipping our students with ancient and modern knowledge of how their mind, body and spirit works we hope to catalyze a lifelong journey of discovery, growth, expression and purpose.
Anatomy & Physiology
The study of human consciousness through the lens of eastern and western anatomy and physiology is important for self-realization and empowerment because it deepens self-awareness, recognizes the mind-body connection and promotes a holistic approach to health.
Our approach to this area of learning is offering a wide breadth of knowledge from ancient wisdom traditions and modern understandings of human form and consciousness.
Behavioral Health & Culture
Emphasis on behavioral health through the lens of culture has immense value. It fosters cultural competence, promotes self-awareness, reduces stigma, facilitates the development of culturally relevant strategies, cultivates empathy and understanding, and strengthens community connections. By incorporating cultural perspectives, we can empower students to navigate their own mental health, understand the experiences of others, and contribute to a more inclusive and supportive society.
