Holistic Spiritual Alliance
Representation and Citizenship
Representation
The Holistic Spiritual Alliance (HSA) provides a democratic and transparent structure so that people who take a holistic approach to spirituality can achieve representation on public decision-making and consultative bodies.
These public bodies include Interfaith, SACREs (local education committees that guide the curriculum in Religious Studies), school and hospital boards, and various local and national community building bodies. At the moment representatives of the traditional religions sit on these bodies. It is fair and appropriate that they be joined by people of a holistic approach.
Values
Members of HSA — whatever their background or spirituality — are aligned with the Holistic Values Statement and bring to discussions:
- A contemporary approach that is holistic, inclusive and celebrates diversity.
- The voice of the many different spiritual approaches currently unrepresented.
- Sustainable and humane values concerned with the long-term well being of individuals and communities.
- A clear understanding of the connections between healthcare, citizenship and spirituality.
Service, Engagement, Citizenship
As well as engaging in representative citizenship, HSA encourages people with a holistic spiritual approach to engage more generally in service and community activities.
Regional and national gatherings are planned to discuss this whole subject.
