Yin &
Yang
Our programs strive for balance, as between
Yang and Yin (masculine and feminine
energies) and between scientific and faith
perspectives. We provide a healthy setting
in which to grow and cultivate our
imaginations, creativity, wisdom,
relationships, leadership and other skills.
We welcome creative tensions and encourage
open expression of many views as a catalyst
for deep change within ourselves, our
community, and the world. Our dream is to
help equip our community to become change
agents in co-creating a wider world of
justice, love, and peace for all creation.
Classes & Activities
We have begun to offer some classes, such as
in Tai Chi and meditation. We hope to soon
expand these to a wider range of offerings,
including training for professionals in the
healing arts. We soon will also offer
opportunities to learn organic gardening and
many other activities that connect us to
nature and the specific land of Happehatchee.
Our programming has included
International women's Day sweat lodges,
full moon circles and women's sacred
circle, as well as alternative energy
workshops and more.
Community Outreach
Projects
We are also blessed with being connected to
various community projects and programs that
further our mission, such as an outreach to
bring healing practices to women’s shelters,
after school programs, groups serving farm
workers, academic environmental studies
programs, and Gather the Women events. We
hope more activities of this sort will
bloom.
Happehatchee has hosted meetings, outings
and/or conferences for local Southwest
Florida organizations such as Calusa Group
-Sierra Club, Responsible Growth Management
Coalition, Interfaith Action, Unity Church
Volunteers, and Unitarian Universalists
study groups.
Global Projects
Our reach is both local and global, working
at the grass roots level with those who are
underserved and neglected in SW Florida,
such as farm workers, the education and
anti-trafficking work in Central America and
Southwest Florida, and also through
organizations like the United Nations and
the International Transpersonal Association.
Ever Evolving
We invite all to share what they
would like to see offered at Happehatchee
and also to share where resources might be
found to address these needs. If there is
something you want to learn or experience
related to our mission, help us find a way
to make it happen.
Join Us & Share
In the midst of the rapid evolving and
increasingly gentrified suburban landscape
of Estero, Happehatchee is an oasis where
you can find and share serenity, healing,
empowerment, and meaningful relationships,
as well as learn valued skills and engage in
meaningful activities. Welcome to our
community!
