House of Balance is an innovative, grassroots nonprofit that embraces a holistic approach to community building. HoB organizes creative-educational projects, events, workshops, and alliances in order to create employment, strengthen locl economy, enhance the community's creative culture and physical health, provide valuable skills, build bridges between community sectors and accelerate our transition into an ecologically-balanced society.
Our Mission: To organically build community and enhance the quality of relationships between citizens through opportunities that unify cultures and generations in collaboration towards completing sustainable and creative community projects.
Our Philosophy: What is balance in community? In the body, homeostasis is: “the tendency to move toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements.” In community, such interdependent elements include schools, local businesses, city committees, families, transportation, food, other resources, the homeless, and childcare.
Because House of Balance considers itself a Nourisher of health and spirit to the community, we are primarily interested in creating healthy opportunities which connect the elements together under a common cause.
Our Vision: As a strong community, we can more effectively address the global, urgent issues of environmental degradation, and the poverty, segregation and poor health that follow. We the People are responsible for creating our own Culture. Let that be one of creativity and consciousness, compassion and collaboration.
Our Methods: To take a holistic approach means to view the individual parts as intimately interconnected to the whole. There are many fine organizations already doing good work for the community, yet there is always room for more people power. Instead of creating a completely separate organization and scattering energy, The House aims to ally with productive, community projects and/or causes in order to share resources and accomplish these common goals more effectively. We integrate our skills, products and services to strengthen our reach through House of Balance, to engage the community on multiple levels.
Our Ambition: Open to everyone, with an emphasis on outreach for at-risk youth, children, elders, underrepresented individuals and low-income/low-opportunity households. With so many social pressures, like racism, poverty, drug abuse, and technological isolation to name a few, it is crucial for our community to support each other to find purpose and place. We understand that it is challenging to access the time and/or resources to be more active in positive change. Most of us really would like to participate in the progress of our community, yet we do not know how. House of Balance strives to make opportunities accessible to everyone by committing to outreach networking, education, community events and fostering communication.
