Spritual Wellness | Get involved with Student Life | Seneca Students

Spiritual wellness may not be something that you think much of, yet its impact on your life is unavoidable. The basis of spirituality is discovering a sense of meaningfulness in your life and coming to know that you have a purpose to fulfill. Some gain spirituality by growing in their personal relationships with others, or through being at peace with nature. Spirituality allows us to find the inner calm and peace needed to get through whatever life brings, no matter what one's beliefs are or where they may be on your spiritual journey. Many factors play a part in defining spirituality: 

• Faith 

• Beliefs 

• Ethics 

• Morals 

• Principles 

• Values 

Signs of Spiritual Wellness:
