Joy Bomb Social Center

 "In fulfilling our potential we feel joy. The adult feels joy when they can love, plan, and create. Joy is the affect which comes when we use our powers. Joy rather than happiness is the goal of life. For joy is the emotion that accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one’s identity as a being of worth and dignity who is able to affirm their being, if need be, against other beings and the whole organic world." - Rollo May

Now more than ever, we need each other. We need each other to bring a care-centered, human focused, ecologically balanced world into existence. This starts with meeting one another, socializing, and finding common ground. It starts with knowing your neighbors.

That is where Joy Bomb comes in.

Joy Bomb is a place where your ideas for a world beyond profit can take shape. Whether that is sharing your skills, interests, or perspectives, everyone has something to contribute to the project of building a new world in the shell of the old.

Helping each other doesn’t have to wait for the next crisis. We all have needs that others in our lives fulfill and we want to expand that circle of care. We want to create and nurture trusting relationships with neighbors on our block, in our city, and in our region. We find a path to a better world, in relying on each other.

Our goal is to co-create a space (with you!!) and to grow social connections that exist outside of the exchange of money. In an alienated and fearful world, Joy Bomb is a space to foster connection and to nurture possibilities as we build, together, a world worth living in.
