The University of Minnesota’s Earl E. Bakken Center for Spirituality & Healing affirms that the values and experiences of our students, faculty, staff, and community members are critical to health and wellbeing.
We:
- recognize that it is our responsibility to ensure that differing opinions and unique ways of knowing inform our curriculum, operations, research, and community relations.
- are committed to engaging students, staff, and faculty.
- understand that systemic barriers to wellbeing exist.
- believe that having access to wellbeing resources is critical for human flourishing, mental health, and wellbeing.
The Center commits to collaborating with University and community partners to expand our programming, resources, and websites.
We believe that access to wellbeing resources are critical for mental health, human flourishing, and wellbeing. Because of this, the Center works to prioritize free resources for students, faculty, staff, and the community, such as our Taking Charge of Your Wellbeing website, Mindful Monday online meditation sessions, our wellbeing webinar series, and our Wellbeing Guides.
