Cultural wellness allows us to be in tune with our spiritual selves. This realm of wellness lets us find meaning in life events and define our individual purpose. Cultural wellness can include values, beliefs, sprituality, personal ethics, inclusion/valuing others, hope and celebration. Regardless of whether you believe in a particular religious faith, there is always something to be learned about how you see yourself in the world.
