Universal Principles of Energy Medicine, Spirituality, and Holistic Health
Holos University Graduate Seminary prepares students to integrate Universal Principles of Energy Medicine, Spirituality, and Holistic Health through self-development, scholarly exploration/research, and compassionate service.
The mystical traditions of virtually all religions contain substantial references that address the subtle physical energies of the body, the transpersonal aspects of the mind, and the expressive activity of the spirit. These traditions exist at the very core of holistic mysticism, spiritual direction, counseling intuition, and integrative healthcare. Holos University Graduate Seminary (HUGS) emphasizes ecumenical spiritual approaches that fulfill a growing need for an inclusive, holistic, and creative approach to life in contemporary communities.
As a Seminary, HUGS focuses upon the spiritual aspects of its studies and research. As a University, HUGS strives to uphold the highest academic standards in teaching and research, and seeks to serve as a bridge between academic, scientific, and religious institutions. The educational design of the HUGS programs, center on these basic tenets, inevitably leading to a new, broader, and more expansive understanding of subtle energies, consciousness, and human transformation.
