Health and Wellness

Health and wellness is an important aspect of community life at Luther Seminary. Developing healthful habits during our lives as students will help us establish and maintain a balanced, healthy life as Christian Public Leaders. Well-being is not a constant state, but an active changing state. Each day we have the opportunity to choose wellness and balance. As Martin Luther said, it is about becoming, and it is never finished.

Being aware and tending to our whole being puts us on the right road. Luther Seminary provides an opportunity for students to take part in activities focused on the Wholeness Wheel, which describes the seven essential elements of well-being: Spiritual Well-Being, Social/Interpersonal Well-Being, Emotional Well-Being, Physical Well-Being, Financial Well-Being, Vocational Well-Being, and Intellectual Well-Being.

Wholeness Wheel: A six-part wheel centered on a hub which reads "Spiritual." The spokes of the wheel start at the top with a blue wedge reading "Social." Next, clockwise (to the right) is a green spoke which read "Emotional." Down clockwise from that is a red spoke that reads "Physical. At the bottom of the wheel is an orange spoke which reads "Financial." Moving up the left side of the wheel is a yellow spoke which reads "Vocational." Up again to the left is a purple spoke reading "Intellectual." Around the entire outside of the wheel is a grey/white circle that reads at the top, "Whole Person" and at the bottom, "Well-Being." The hub and spokes with their captions are the seven components of whole-person well-being.
