On the Edge of Learning

As we close the structure of this small and heart-y non-profit, we affirm the many seeds planted and spread, the many voices raised, connections cultivated and ways of knowing explored.  

We share this collective Poetry of People and Place as a final organizational acknowledgement and an open invitation to keep living by the wisdom of our hearts.

Wellness Model

Using the WholeHeart Wellness Model

Using the WholeHeart Wellness Model

The WholeHeart Wellness Model is an expression of our wholehearted desire to see individuals and organizations find their right alignment, knowing that the exact look and feel of that alignment will differ for each person or group. 

The model offers a tool to help discover, explore, deepen, reflect, and buoy your own wellness wisdom by channeling the six areas of wellness we feel most completely capture true wellness in everyday life experience. The six chambers of the nautilus image are labeled by differing yet interconnected areas of wellness: Grace, Emotional, Intellectual, Physical, Social, and Cultural.
