HOL 6500 - Seminar in Holistic Methods

The purpose of the course is to bring together the teachings from the various electives that are offered by the program and the intro course and insure the students have had exposure to all aspects of holism. It is also meant to give the students an opportunity to go deeper into the underlying principles present to holistic studies and integrate the research behind these principles. The content is provided through a variety of experiential, didactic, video, and reflective processes. Through this exposure students will develop a deeper understanding of the intersectionality of body-mind-spirit in the development and maintenance of health and well-being at the personal and professional level. This seminar is meant to be taken at the end of the certificate training, just prior to or in conjunction with HOL 6700 - Field Placement. It is required for the successful completion of the full certificate. (This course is also required when a student takes a second Specialty Graduate Certificate.)

Note: Open to graduate students only.

Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: Undergraduate minor in Integrative Holistic Health and Wellness, or HOL 5310, or approval from the Program Coordinator for a comparable degree outside of Western.
