Spiritual Wellness

Spiritual wellness refers to our ability to develop congruency between our own values and actions. Moreover, spiritual wellness allows individuals to define purpose in their lives and make meaning of certain life events. This dimension is about establishing our own personal morals, ethics and what we stand for as individuals in the world. Some people might find spiritual wellness through religion and faith while others turn to nature or other mindfulness practices. Exploring our own moral and ethical compass through a variety of self-exploration activities contributes to the Spiritual Wellness dimension.
