Statement of Educational Philosophy Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA) is licensed by the State of Arizona and accredited by ACCET (Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training) as a private college for Holistic Healthcare careers and continuing education. It is also a community healing center. It is dedicated to providing professional, affordable education for those interested in entering the healing arts profession, for those interested in continuing their education, as well as to those seeking personal and spiritual growth. SWIHA is committed to providing on-going entrepreneurial support for holistic healthcare practitioners in private practice and to those establishing or growing a business. Southwest Institute of Healing Arts' mission is to be a spirit-directed private college, helping individuals discover their gifts and graces, and to ultimately take them out into the world in a loving and profitable way. Our motto is to teach people how to Touch Lives, Heal Bodies & Free Souls. Individual, client, community and global healing is emphasized and embraced. All of the programs offered at SWIHA are designed to prepare students to begin in entry-level positions in their chosen field while they are completing the requirements for the more advanced Holistic Health Careers. Lifelong learning is modeled and encouraged. The core values on which the college was founded, and on which it continues to operate are: Spirit-Directed. We believe in the body-mind-spirit connection and acknowledge a higher power, a divine plan and the spiritual nature of health and healing, life and death, the known and the unknown. We believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience. While we do not subscribe to or endorse any particular dogma or doctrine, we openly acknowledge the divine presence in our lives. We embrace prayer, mediation, divine inspiration, intuition and the great mystery of life. Choice and Flexibility. There are a minimum number of core classes required, with the majority of the curriculum based upon the student's interest, aptitude and ability. We are committed to individuals discovering and developing their unique gifts and talents. The college is an open entry - open exit school, offering day, night, and weekend classes in a semi-modular, continuous system allowing students to build their courses and programs around their life commitments and timing. Diversity in Learning Styles and Delivery Systems. Students are encouraged to evaluate their learning styles, their gifts and graces, their personality profiles, as well as understand their dreams, their fears, phobias and their individuals 'withholds', while developing their personal and professional skills. "Healing the Healer" is an on-going theme throughout the education and community process. Self-healing - Self-empowerment - Self-sufficiency. Personal and professional healing and growth are emphasized, with the goal being to prepare individuals to move toward gainful employment or entrepreneurship, achieving spiritual and financial stability. Entrepreneurship. The college is committed to advancing the holistic healthcare movement by providing on-going support those individuals who are committed to owning and growing their own private practices or businesses. Community centered. The college is actively involved in the community as a way of providing service and showing gratitude. Rarely do any two students graduate with exactly the same transcript because students are encouraged to "Do Your Dream" and "Do It Your Way". There are required core classes and many elective classes to select from to fulfill program requirements. On occasion students are drawn to classes other than those listed in the program description, and this flexibility is built into the SWIHA curriculum. In order to encourage this learning process, we maintain an instructor/student ratio of 1:16 in lab classes and 1:30 in lecture classes.
