At HU, personal development is considered the foundation for engaging in holistic healing and integrated medicine.To becomea recipient or a practitioner of spiritual and holistic healing requires a personal commitment to engage the spirit in on-going transformation of mind and body.Holistic medicine can only be understood from the perspective of intentional personal development that carries each person beyond a fragmented perspective of reality into a more holistic unity.
Every course at HU offers opportunities for personal development.All courses involve aspects of energy medicine that augment personal development such as knowledge and experience of the subtle energy body and its chakras, transpersonal psychology, consciousness studies, archetypes, astrology, and ancestral patterns.In their scholarly work students refine their writing and research skills.Graduate student projects in spiritual research are supported and encouraged.
All graduates of the Seminary develop the skills necessary to become Spiritual Direction consultants.
