ABOUT THE CENTER
The Cultural Wellness Center is a transformative space that incubates culturally-based solutions to real world problems. Our work at the Cultural Wellness Center is to move from race to culture. By engaging the generative practice of moving from race to culture, one engages the transformative process of being and becoming oneself through the lens of culture. The knowledge produced from this process creates the space for one to heal themselves and build community.

COMMUNITY HEALTH
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.
CULTURAL SOLUTIONS
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.
