At A Spacious Place we enjoy loading the trunks of our vehicles with creative goodies and motoring out to group homes, apartment complexes, camp sites, churches, and campuses. We provide opportunities for creative and spiritual expression to persons who have developmental delays, persons in transitional or low-income housing, and children, to name a few. We just get in our cars and follow the need. If you know of an organization that might benefit from A Spacious Place's Tailgate Offerings, we'd love to hear from you! Contact kaye@aspaciousplace.com.
A Spacious Place is creating an online journal. If you wish to submit a scholarly piece related to creativity and/or spirituality, please submit your piece to Contact@aspaciousplace.com.
