So I have been building the non-profit and looking at all the moving parts.
There is The Art Garage, which started it all off. Then there is the Shop Co-Op, another garage space for more trades like activities. Actually, I envision it like small artistic projects, like making shelves, boxes, PVC water sculptures, lamps, and maybe even robots. I see these types of artistic projects providing some of the basic skills that would be used in the trades. It will give these skills and create opportunities for artistry to emerge. There is The Community House itself, where meetings that promote personal growth and speakers that inspire and teach how to create a successful business or simply empower your life and live out your dream. The upstairs space of the Community House is designed for yoga, dance, maybe even the theater arts. What a beautiful space. The space will be open for the youth in the area to socialize and play games from 3-6PM while mornings will be reserved for meetings and job support. Special bi-monthly speakers and events hosted by community members will also be open to the community in the evening. Of course our open board meeting is hosted every 23rd. And last but not least there is 800 Thrush, The Center for Creative Learning. I am so excited about using this space to provide homeschool support, micropod learning, and truly holistic, creative and life-affirming education for children. This space is also for creative learning for adults, and we are soon starting our series for adult learning on our website consciousness explorations. Whew, so many pieces, all coming together slowly. So what is the connection? Arts, entrepreneuralism, personal and spiritual development? I am starting to see the threads, and I will keep you posted once the tapestry has taken form.
