EXPLORE WHAT THE CULTURAL WELLNESS CENTER HAS TO OFFER
The Invisible College
The Invisible College provides consultation and educational services on the impact of culture on health as well as ways to interface with the constituent cultures of the community. The students of the college will learn how to make use of the continuum of medicine in their choices of healing.
The Health Institute
The Health Institute helps residents interact more knowledgeably with biomedical practitioners, provides referrals, assists in bridging cultural traditions, and provides quality assurance and accreditation for cultural health practices. We serve our community through classes, coaching, consulting, and certifications for people, for families, for communities, and for organizations and institutions.
Tools & Processes
We offer a welcoming space for individuals to rediscover their identity, reconnect with their community, and nurture their capacity for creativity and problem-solving. Through cultural education, affirmational support, and community engagement, we provide the tools to heal and rebuild a sense of belonging.
MOVING FROM RACE TO CULTURE
The Cultural Wellness Center focuses on moving from race to culture, recognizing our hearts and souls as a collective, and studying culture as a resource. It encourages the practice of rituals and ceremonies to experience empathy, remember our people's ancient ways, and understand the connection between life and death. It also emphasizes the importance of sharing expressions of life which are not visible to the physical eye.
MAP TO WELLNESS
The Cultural Wellness Center's process involves identifying the barriers between an individual and their Wellness, creating a step-by-step action plan to overcome these barriers, and being guided by the Center's staff throughout the process. Wellness, as understood by the Center, encompasses all aspects of health, including mental, physical and spiritual health, as well as relationships, financial stability and cultural awareness.
CULTURAL SELF-STUDY
The Cultural Wellness Center provides individuals with the knowledge and guidance to do a Cultural Self-Study, which requires commitment, research, writing and honesty. The Center encourages periodic check-ins and updates to ensure the process remains on track. Without the Center's help, it is difficult to complete the self-study.
