Healing Within Mission Statement
Our mission is to assist and empower our clients to be well within, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Joyous Living Center of Wellness
 
VISION 
The vision for Joyous Living, Center of Wellness is to create a place were each person feels loved and accepted for who they are and creates opportunities for learning, healing, contributing and receiving from each other. As each person moves toward Wellness, we all move toward Wellness.   The programs, therapies and experiences encompass many aspects of what is involved in creating a more healthy life and life style.  The programs and offerings will grow and develop in stages for what is in the highest good of this community.    
 
 
FINANCIAL STATUS 
The center will be created with a non-profit umbrella but have for profit businesses within.  A fund-raiser will be hired for consultation and implementation.  Grants will be researched and written with the intent of having a healing center and community center in the Roseville area.  Monies will also be donated by those in the community and metro area. The center will have sustainable practices so will not require a lot of money to maintain once it is built. The center’s mission will be to support the existing community and not compete with what already exists.
 
 BUILDING 
The existing structure will have to be torn down and the land totally cleaned of toxins.  The new structure constructed will be environmentally sustainable.   Currently, we believe it may be a two story structure and in a shape that faces north, south, east, and west, symbolizing drawing in and working with all aspects of life.  The building and surrounding area will be beautiful to behold and be in, as it creates a climate of health and wholeness.  
 
The current location being considered is located on the corner of Victoria and County Road C in Roseville.  This land has 10 1/2 acres with the existing building on the site is 44,547 sq feet.
 
The Roseville School District is willing to sell the land when the current renter’s lease expires in 2008.  We will find solutions to the overhead electrical towers that border the property and the city park across Country Road C. These solutions will insure that the center is not affected.  There are also ball fields on the property needing to be considered.
 
This location offers easy access to Central Park which will create opportunities for coordination of community events that include the park.  It also will be available for supporting the number of businesses around this location.
 
Private Rooms and Areas 
There would be several private rooms for clients to rest between therapies.  Also, a number of short term overnight rooms or suites will be constructed for clients that are not well enough to leave and need 24hr supervision.
 
The plan is to also own homes in the surrounding community that will be available for clients that wish to stay short term and use the facilities for healing purposes. These homes will also allow for a 24hr nursing staff on hand if the situation is required.
 
Public Rooms for Instruction and Practice 
Within the buildings there will be treatment rooms in addition to open rooms for practice and group instruction.
 
The Center could have rooms equipped for many activities, such yoga and therapeutic dance, pilates, community rooms that may include art and woodworking and other interest in the community. Since the Center is meant to instruct members on achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it will also have learning rooms, where classes for all different aspect of our life will be taught. Class / lecture rooms will provide an area for instructional purposes, lectures, guest speakers and demonstrations.
 
Therapeutic Pool 
The Center will incorporate a chemical free therapeutic pool and current pool with lifts to enable handicap accessibility. This would make it available to all members of the community.
 
Organic Restaurant 
An organic restaurant and juice bar will be located on the premises.  There would be a commercial kitchen that is both functional for food preparation and a classroom that can be used to teach people the art of healthy food preparation. There would be options for a meal plan and possible opportunities to distribute food to those unable to get to the center.
 
 
MEDICAL FACILITY AND PRACTITIONERS 
The Center will house a medical facility that would include both allopathic and integrative practitioners working together for the highest good of the patient. There will be a computerized system available that will be able to run diagnostics on clients, and give an overall assessment for the priority of care required. 
 
Available offices could be shared by a number of practitioners each coming in for specific days and some practitioners will be there full time. The varying expertise will open accessibility to a large pool of knowledge and experience for the community it is serving.  The vision includes having most practitioners from the community who would be serving and benefiting from the center. This creates more connectedness and community.
 
These practitioners may include some of the following, with more areas being added as staff and services expand:

Medical Doctor
Nursing staff
Chiropractors
Acupuncturist
Nutritionist
Colon Hydro-therapist
Massage Therapist
Energy Medicine Practitioner
Healing rooms
Chiropractic Neurologist
Guided meditation
Aroma therapist
Music and light therapies
Yoga and gentle stretching
Water therapies
Physical therapist
Herbologist
Sensory integration therapies
 
Those who work at the center will be supported to continue in their own healing and spiritual growth.
 
Once established, we will have free clinic opportunities for those who need financial assistance and show commitment to their healing path.
 
GARDENS, GREENHOUSE AND GROUNDS 
There will be gardens around the building and a green house on top of the building that grows plants and herbs used by the restaurant. This green house will be tended by those in the community who will enjoy such activities during summer and winter months...
 
JUNGLE THERAPY ROOM 
This will be a large muscle room that is created with intention of therapy and igniting the imagination. The room will follow the jungle theme with ropes and bridges, trees and lots of cushions for climbing.  It will be a safe place to play and build strength at the same time. It will be used to help stimulate different areas of the brain and body and can be used in conjunction with many of the other therapies.
I believe there also needs to be a climbing wall in the center.
 
CHILD CARE AND YOUTH CENTER 
There will be a childcare center on site that would be available for full/part time care as well as drop in care for those using the services at the Center.
 
The Center will also offer after school hang out spaces for the youth and young adults as well as giving them opportunities for learning. The Center may also sponsor and staff occasional youth and family events.
 
 COMMUNITY CENTER APPROACH 
The Roseville Life Center will offer something for all ages which will form a link in bringing different generations together for the benefit for all generations.
 
The Center is based on promoting respect, loving relationships and loving-kindness which will be felt in and throughout the center and enrich the lives of all who enter and are associated with the center.
 
Product Store 
There will be a store on site that will offer products, such as supplements, herbs, or foods that are recommended by the practitioners and requested by the community.
 
 
Business Opportunities 
Other businesses that hold to the commitment of the center will have space available for rent, such as saloons, spa’s and other retail establishments
 
 
 
            =====================================================
There will be a number of stages to this process.
We are in Stage 1 and located at:
 
Healing Within Wellness Center
3200 North Lexington Avenue
Shoreview, Minnesota  55126
(651) 490-3347   web site www.healingwithinmn.com
 
The next step is to raise money to hire someone to set up a non-profit organization that would help raise money for the larger vision and  build towards Stage 2.
We will then have an expanded version as Stage 2 and end up with our final location in Stage 3.
 
Market research needs to be done and a list of people who would consult with the:
1) Land and architecture layout
2) Who would do the market research (necessary for financial consideration, grants, loans, and government classifications?
