Mission
The James P Harrington Organization is a nurturing and inclusive community of wellness, healing, and transformation. We deliver alternative holistic programs and resources that are accessible and equitable to all for better community well-being.
Vision
A center in every community that provides holistic support for people seeking wellness so they can heal, build strength, and transform pain into power.
Working Community Philosophy
No matter where you are in your journey to healing and wellness, purpose is essential to feeling whole. JPH is a purpose driven community.
We believe the best way to move through life's challenges is to keep moving forward. Our community provides small volunteer jobs and opportunities to contribute in every area of what we do. We also provide long term volunteer and team positions to provide a purpose when seeking to shift, heal or break patterns. In short, we believe you can process emotions with a paint brush in your hand, a garden to plant or a project to do for the community. Staying busy, and giving back with a collective purpose is key to moving through life's challenges.
JPH community members will be invited to join in efforts such as filling the needs of the community we serve, volunteering for programs and events, working on property improvement, service projects and other campaigns. Tasks can be as simple as sorting items or as complex as coordinating the initiative. This simple effort of support as a group brings our community closer together, gives us new goals to meet and provides us with community accomplishments that we can all feel good about.
Our Seven Guiding Principles
- A conscious and connected community is necessary for personal wellness.
- There are many pathways to wellness, rejuvenation, and recovery; no one journey is the right journey for all.
- We believe that by being open about our struggles and barriers to healing, we empower ourselves and others to release the shame or belief that somehow our adversities make us less whole. In fact, our adversities are part of our power and strength.
- We believe that nature, art and music all have healing qualities and being in a community connected by these elements brings an elevated personal energy.
- Our methods address wholeness and wellness, not illness.
- We believe that a feeling of connection and acceptance is paramount to exploring the journey of wellness.
- A whole family is impacted when a family member is in emotional pain. The whole family can heal, grow, and become stronger and more resilient if given the information, tools, and support.
