Persist as Love
Welcome to The Whole Health Center.
Since 1981, The Whole Health Center has offered a natural and nurturing approach to whole health and personal and spiritual growth on beautiful Mount Desert Island. Our classes, workshops, retreats, groups, and individual and couple counseling services all seek to promote self-realization, integration, reciprocity, and heart connection in our inner and outer lives.
PLEASE NOTE: The Whole Health Center is in transition, in process of moving our operation – after 42 years – from Bar Harbor to nearby Blue Hill, Maine!
You may now reach The Whole Health Center and Paul Weiss directly at our new landline: 207-374-7035.

At the Heart of Everything
Thursday evenings at 7:00, in tandem with our Saturday morning meditations at 8 – beginning December 5 and 7
The two talks we have presented here are the first two talks Paul gave in the summer of 2021 in his series commenting on The Radiant Sutras, a modern translation of an ancient tantric text of Kashmiri Shaivism. (As esoteric as that sounds, we think you'll enjoy the translation and the talks. Perhaps you were there.) We'll post them all eventually.

Interview with Marianne Pestana
Can direct experience offer lessons for spiritual growth and development? Tune in for an inspiring discussion with Paul Weiss on his new book The Dharma of Direct Experience: Non-Dual Principles of Living.
This inspiring book discussion with Paul Weiss reflects on much of his lifelong work, teaching, and poetry about the nature of spiritual experience and its lessons for a life of compassion, intimacy, and reciprocity.

Our Mission
The mission of The Whole Health Center is to be an agent of integration and deep healing, through promoting both the integrity and self-realization of the individual and genuine reciprocity and conscious communication between people.
We see both together as essential to wholeness.
