After years of holding this vision, I purchased
some land in Carson, Washington which we call
the The Bear Creek Heartspace Center. There are
twenty acres that are presently divided into
two ten acre parcels One of these parcels I
intend to put in a land trust that is dedicated
to this mission. A goal this year is to
establish a 501 C 3 corporation that can be the
vehicle to create a model that can be
duplicated. A Capital and Operating fund
raising campaign will help us realize this
vision and create a new paradigm of a self
sustaining business and community.
Our mission is to reconnect all who seek with
the innocence and purity of their child spirit,
to access our own spiritual connection, our
whole heart, and improve that spiritual
connection through drum making classes, music,
play, theater, ritual and ceremony, recreating a
functional and nurturing extended family in
order to heal abuse and addictive patterns. The
greater mission is to create safe space each one
of us can actualize and expand to our highest
potential in mind, body, spirit and emotions.
Purpose
Time is art. The human spirit has an innate
yearning to create, and creative expression is
value. Focusing on results is focusing on
illusion. When the mind fixes on a result, the
breath stops. When the breath stops, we fall
from grace. To stay in the present moment,
having the courage to stay with process and
detach from results and outcomes is the purpose
of The Heartspace Center.
Offerings
The act of creation and co- creation through
expression of our artistry leads to an awakening
to spirit. We offer training in process - the
process of creation, whether that creation is
drums, rattles, art, dance, theater, movement or
sportsplay. Improving our conscious contact and
the connection between body and spirit and each
other is our purpose.
We offer programs, services, products, education
and training on how to become whole, free,
independent entities who resonate the vibrations
of both the light and the dark. We embrace both
our highest and our lowest, which lead to a
center point and awakens the inner rhythms of
joy and grace, ease and abundance.
We propose to offer new ways to evaluate and
manifest teachers who are congruent with mind,
body, spirit and emotions and who are centered
in their heartspace. To learn to trust in our
innate ability of move freely and without
resistance to the rhythms of universal truth,
abundance, grace and ease. We propose to educate
in natural law - calling on the natural cycles
of nature. How we learn these is by being in
nature which teaches us through silence and
space.
We propose that giving and receiving are one,
and the giving is for the giver as is the
receiving. We propose to teach the simplicity
of the universal Medicine Wheel of life -- we
come from spirit and to spirit we return. We
propose to set clear intention and provide space
to balance and center in the yin/yang energies
of masculine/feminine, each finding our own
voice and manifesting our energy signature in
the present moment.
Patrick's
Vision
I see an elegant blending of natural, authentic
and shameless people working, playing,
supporting and loving each other in the context
of a self sufficient, autonomous community. I
see golf and tennis courses, designed in harmony
with the land. I see ceremonies to improve our
spiritual connection, bless and respectfully
asking permission of the people, the land,
animals and plants to take loving care of both
ourselves and our environment.
I see gardens, greenhouses and food organically
grown and prepared with loving intent. I see
clear pure waters flowing through the property.
I see hot pools. I see circles of people
praying, sharing and preparing food together,
communicating from the deepest levels of trust.
I see naturally generated power sources from
wind and sun, water and earth. I see prosperous
businesses where people are joyfully working
with clutterless efficiency. I see children
running free and with abandon, being loved and
nurtured by all. I see a temple for meditation
and prayer in silence. I see a giant recreation
structure with pools, movement rooms, courts for
ball play, art studios, improv theater, clowns
in abundance, musicians playing and singing, the
sounds of drums playing deep patterns of
unexpressed rhythms. I see healing tears
flowing and cleansing us from abusive past
behavior. I see passionate people dancing naked
with shameless abandon.
Philosophy
I am Patrick Pinson. The following philosophy
is my philosophy, developed through my life
experience, and I am generalizing.
Language is a big part of self betrayal, and my
showing up in the world with my whole heart
begins with the I AM. Often in reading, I am
blocked by the I/You/We.
When I share my pure experience, you can take it
or leave it, or take the best and leave the
rest. I invite you to open to these ideas as
mine, and forgive me when I use we, you and our,
for when I betray the I, I am speaking for you.
Playing with our whole heart, down here in the
density (earth) is the simple mission of the
Heartspace Center. Through abuse, this
childlike zest for life atrophies and withers.
The child spirit inside of each of us
undernourished, the child spirit goes away and
hides. This betrayal of our "whole heart"
creates posturing, manipulating, seeking outside
of ourselves for love and when that love shows
up, we recreate conditional love, which is not
really love at all.
When we play half heartedly in work,
relationships and spirit, we become obsessive/
compulsive and hopeless. This creates addictive
behavior, seeking outside of ourselves for
wholeness. There is a deep longing for the
return of our child spirit with their wonder,
curiosity, awe, joy, and unlimited energy,
unrestricted by fear and doubt.
The Heartspace Center is a place to come and
heal those wounds to the spirit of the child so
that we may regain our enthusiasm and zest for
life, find our joyful nature and use our gifts
that our Creator gives us to the highest levels,
co-creating with others. When the child is
nourished through self love, our spirits soar
and the limits drop away, and we expand in love,
reclaiming and recovering our true nature.
We hold sacred and take loving care of what we
hold as sacred and value. By valuing and loving
ourselves and being in a community of like
people, we learn to break old self defeating
patterns and self betrayal.
Our man made laws have been misguided in
an attempt to protect the child, yet the child
doesn't need protection as much as the child
needs touch and love - unconditional love that
nourishes and releases the whole heart. Nature
is God's tranquilizer, so our intention is to
create a blend of structures and space in
nature.
This retreat center, away from the random chaos
of the city, will be a model that can be
duplicated. No more people will live on this
land than the land can support, and there is
intention to blend with the land, animals, and
plants that reside there, creating an ecosystem
of balance and blending in nature. Simplicity,
abundance, trust, courage and unconditional love
are qualities of the child inside. A mind free
of clutter births clarity of intention.
The walk around the Medicine Wheel of life is a
walk around the cycles and rhythms of nature and
the four ridges of life. The first ridge is the
unborn and the newborn. We come from spirit and
our gift of life is the most precious gift.
When we hold the children sacred, the children
hold others sacred.
The greatest gift of the child is innocence,
purity and a whole heart. Child abuse stops the
flow, grace and ease of life. This abuse takes
four forms - abuse of mind, body, spirit and
emotions. This abuse, until healed, manifests
in addictions and co-dependent relationships.
