34 1986 The Creative Learning Center The Creative Learning Center is an enduring concept that has remained virtually unchanged since these words were written several years ago. These are the words from the original Heartwood brochure. "The Heartwood Vision calls for establishing a Creative Learning Center. The Creative Learning Center is really much more than a building. It is a means of establishing a creative context within which we can explore our potential, the potential of our relationships, our environment, our world, the arts and much more. This exploration can take the form of building a tree house, learning how to milk a cow, attending a workshop in the healing properties of herbs, or dance. The possibilities are unlimited. By working with the Center, you have the opportunity to implement an idea or program which inspires you. Operating as a non- profit organization -- financially independent of Heartwood, the Creative Learning Center, will provide many life- enriching experiences (For individuals and families) through the programs it offers. The Center will have a manager to orchestrate its many recreational and educational activities, both inside the building on the premises and at the nearby ball field -- ranging from human potential and growth seminars to after - school programs for the community's children, from exercise classes, basketball, to yoga- meditation weekends, Saturday night dances and seasonal festivals. The Center will provide adjacent workshop and studio space where artisans may arrange to work as well as teach their crafts to others. Heartwood residents (and other nearby residents) will be invited and encouraged to participate on all levels of HEARTH and the Creative Learning Center. A Heartwood Homeowners Association office and a recreation room are planned for the Center building for the use by residents of Heartwood (and other participating nearby residents, as well.)" That was 1986. What about now?
