Mission Statement:

Our mission is to create a center for people of all ages to experience the creative process through ongoing classes, playshops, conferences, speakers, and outreach programs. Our goal is to enhance the development of not only physical wellness, but also psychological and spiritual wellness through the arts and humanities.

Objective/Vision:

Experience in interrelated arts has repeatedly demonstrated for us the benefits of experiencing the creative process. We have worked with many age groups from a multitude of backgrounds and have seen astonishing results. Direct and total involvement in the creative process provides access to self-expression, knowledge, a sense of tranquility, relaxation, self-confidence and community connection.

We believe that our culture lacks the types of art experiences that are an integral part of daily living and identity found in other cultures throughout the world. Unfortunately, these methods are limited in our society to the "talented" or "artistic types" and a small number of professional artists and performers. The rest of society remain spectators devoid of direct involvement in these means of expression.

Programs offered by the Creative Spirit Center are designed for a large cross section of populations, including children, adults, gender specific groups, older adults, the frail elderly, and people in recovery groups. Our goal is to develop supportive environments in which "non-artists" have an opportunity to become directly and totally involved in the creative process. Being involved in programs that promote self-expression and awareness are vital to enhancing the wellness of persons on all levels.

Our objective is to develop and promote workshops, classes and outreach programs for corporations, schools, hospitals, health care centers, hospice groups, senior residence centers, and recovery centers.
