THE CIRCLE OF HARMONY & HEALTH
The Harmony Campus, as intended to serve as a hub for The Circle of Harmony & Health, is now our – Louisville’s – laboratory for exploring and showcasing how we can all explore and make whole our own health.
The Circle of Harmony & Health was designed to illustrate the multiple influences on human health from the natural, social, and cultural environs. It is representative of the path of nature’s own cycles, but also because it has neither beginning nor end, and is therefore a suitable symbol for the health process, constantly ongoing.
The Harmony Building is the translation of this concept into a physical structure. The Harmony Building will model how the built environment can support and improve health.
History
The Harmony building originated with a group of women, the Business Women’s Club (1899-1955), believing in sharing and caring, and understanding the interconnectedness of human and environmental health. The construction of the Harmony Building on then known as Walnut St., provided a solid headquarters for women in the business community.
