Welcome

Research and Knowledge Production 

 The Cultural Wellness Center is a non-profit community-based organization dedicated to developing cultural approaches for positively impacting health and health care, economic development, and community building.

We do this through organizing:

• Workshops
• Seminars
• Classes
• Trainings
• Elders Coachings
• One-on-one Map to Wellness sessions
• Healing Circles 
• Community events

Our scope is local, national, as well as international.

The Cultural Wellness Center engages people in using culture as a resource for taking responsibility for their own health and well-being. To achieve our mission of unleashing the power of citizens to heal themselves, we work with individuals, communities, families, professionals and we partner with academic institutions, government agencies, philanthropists, and other non-profits.

The successful models we have developed have proven to be replicable, sustainable, and cost effective.
