Educational Resources

The Universal Foundation for Holistic Design (UFHD) is building a platform of educational resources that are accessible to diverse audiences. We aim to do this by sharing information through various lenses and formats. This section offers an opportunity to engage with materials such as The Holistic Design Principles through a range of perspectives that focus on personal & planetary health, theory, research & application, economics, philosophy, consciousness, spirituality, energy work, & more.

We invite everyone to interact with the Principles in their own ways and share their findings with us!
