Have you ever dreamed about spending your day surrounded by creative people you enjoy, who challenge you, teach you and support your goals? Do you wonder what it would be like to work from a fully equipped, technically advanced space in a certified green building, or a sensory garden/outdoor therapy space?

Have you wished for opportunities to learn new strategies and brainstorm with professionals from other disciplines?
