THE JOY OF LEARNING CENTERS' Purpose is to transform negative human energies into a powerful force for healing humanity and the earth. We bring wholistic living situations, health services, classes, and information to low income people. We have a five-pointed program to teach people how to improve their health, school/work performance and outlook on life!
Since its beginnings in May, 1992, the Joy of Learning Center has also provided low cost housing and wholistic health information to over 150 low-income renters. Many of these renters have overcome addictions to drugs and alcohol while living here.
The Five Programs
1. The Family Home Project: A share rental home in Marin County, CA where low income people live and can choose to practice lifestyle changes to improve their health.
2. The Prosperity Project: We have three gardens in Marin and we're creating gardens in Marin City and the Canal area. Working with the County of Marin, we are teaching Organic Gardening to the Latino community. Our vision is to create jobs, especially organic gardening work, for the day laborers (trabajadores) who stand on the street corners hoping for employment. We want our society to recognize the invaluable help the trabajadores can give us in making the shift to a more agrarian society.
3. "Let's Get Healthy!": Affordable services, classes and information on improving health naturally: Bodywork, Counseling, and Organic Gardening. GO! (GREEN OPTIONS) - spreads information about toxicity of commercial products, and distribution of non-toxic, earth-and people friendly products.
4. "Restoring the Family:" An Amazing Family Story: How our family tree became a "family forest!" Watch the video on the righ to learn about it. We're designing a program of social reconstruction that will offer homes and loving families to street children.
5. "You Can Help!" How your contributions of time and money can support our programs. All of our programs and projects provide healthy, happy alternatives to addictions and negativity. If you'd like to support our activities, please email us at joyoflearningcenter@juno.com, or call 415-499-0907.

Joy of Learning Center is aligned with the Movement to Reverse Diabetes Naturally (RDN Movement), aiming to create the conditions and lifestyle of health. We are moving from a diabetogenic culture, causing illness in millions of people with economic disproportions, to an anti-diabetogenic culture and agriculture for the healing of humans and healing of the living planet. Regional activities are taking place throughout 2010, and a documentary film, Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days is available. The Bay Area program director is Michael Bedar, based in San Rafael at 520-604-1262. Please click for additional information.
