The Minnesota Holistic Nurses Association was organized in 1987 by a group of local nurses who became inspired to promote a holistic nursing network in our community. This group continues to be at the forefront of the shifting paradigm of holistic health care. MinnHNA Leadership Council is comprised of volunteers serving the organization with their time and talents.
The Minnesota Holistic Nurses Association Mandala provides a visual of our organization on a holistic template. The Mandala reflects a non-hierarchical approach to an organizational chart. Each ring of the template represents organizational resources.

What is Holistic Nursing…
A Holistic Nurse…
The Minnesota Holistic Nurses Association Mandala provides a visual of our organization on a holistic template. The Mandala reflects a non-hierarchical approach to an organizational chart. Each ring of the template represents organizational resources. The first ring, called the rainbow ring, highlights the external resources and sources of energy for our organization. The second ring is related to the first ring -- showing what each resource contributes. The third ring depicts internal resources. This body/mind/spirit ring provides our values, mission, and vision statements. The fourth ring including the center, the colorful Feng Shui Ba-Gua, represents manifestation. It shows how holistic philosophy and approaches are manifested in our organization.
