Offer Your Practice through the Center
Who We Are…
The Healing Arts Center is a nonprofit organization that owns the building. The operations are practitioner-run and the decisions made at each monthly meeting by group consensus. We are a community of alternative health practitioners, with individual practices, who support each other and commit ourselves to the inner workings of the Healing Arts Center.
Our current practitioner offerings include massage therapy and bodywork, acupuncture, psychotherapy, naturopathic medicine and nutritional counciling. Each of our pratitoners are dedicated to being an active particpant in our consensus based, growing community and are commited to making Orcas Island their home.
Once invited to join, members may reserve room space between one and five days per week in our refurbished 1904 farm house in the heart of Eastsound. Membership with the Healing Arts Center affords inclusion in an involved, passionate group of islanders! We maintain our physical structure and our community with regular work parties, participation in our CHI (Community Health Initiative) program, and consensus-based meetings.
We are a member-run 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, incorporated in 1989. The Healing Arts Center is dedicated to providing space and support for holistic healthcare treatments and services for our community. We strive to offer valuable education and resources about holistic healthcare and wellness.
