Course Introduction
Eight Dimensions of Wellness is an intentional, conscious way to keep God at the center of everything we do. Let's learn together how our physical, mental, intellectual, social, financial, occupational, and environmental wellness interact with and encircle our relationship with God. Tweak one area and other areas may be affected; improve and rely on spiritual wellness and all other areas will support that change.
“When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be applied.” – Herophilus
For this 6-week course, we will look at spiritual wellness as the focal point of life and the base of wellness. Then, each week we will look at 1-2 of the 8 dimensions of wellness and how to balance our lives to bring about a healthier way of living. The final week, we will circle back to spiritual wellness as the unique glue that holds our lives together. The course will include different approaches and prayer to balance and give coherence to your life.
