A Community Co-op That Enriches Lives
What is a Co-op?
A co-op is an organization that is owned and operated by the people who use its services. bliss is a non-profit 501(c)(3) spiritual co-op dedicated to programs that nourish the soul, incubate dreams and connect humanity.
We are a public charity. If you find value in our classes and services, we welcome your participation and support.
Come share in the experience. If you grow to love the many benefits that this vibrant community offers and want to become more involved, we will gladly accept your shared talents as a Facilitator, your time as a bliss Ambassador, your expertise as a Coordinator, your presence as a Participant, and/or your help with requested in-kind service and item needs for bliss events and community outreach projects.
We run on generosity. The bliss Board Members, Facilitators, Ambassadors, and Coordinators are non-paid volunteers.
Operating a facility and hosting nearly 200 ONSITE & ONLINE classes each month does incur expenses, so monetary donations are greatly appreciated and are 100% tax-deductible.
