Spa Mission
The Mission of the Wellness Spa is to build and expand a community that nurtures dialogue and investigation of wellness, healing, sustainability, faith spirituality, and what it is to be human.

The spa relies on open communication that encourages fun and supports shared personal growth, networking, cultural events, social activities, community projects, and philanthropy pursuits. Additionally, there are opportunities to develop facilitation skill, income enhancement, ownership opportunities and community economic development.


Core Values
o Promotion of wellness and holistic living lifestyle and values
o Dialogue, conversation and the facilitation process are an important component of wellbeing and the healing process
o Encouragement of sustainable living and ecological community development
o Rest, healing, dialogue , and our wellness tool kit are important components of disease prevention
o Balancing faith, experience learning, and responsibility with information from experts, prophets, and spiritual messengers



The HLQ Fund
The fund was established during the fall of 1999. It is administered by the Pittsburgh Foundation which provides technical support, continuity of operation, perpetuity of holistic concepts; and provides a vehicle for funding on-going projects.
The grant decisions are decided by persons sensitive to holistic living concepts and the fund sponsors events which provide the opportunity for donors to meet with funded project participants. A single contribution supports projects that the fund targets:
   o Persons in need
