ATNSC: Center for Healing & Creative Leadership

ATNSC: ​Center for Healing & Creative Leadership exists to gather and nurture communal healing, creativity and leadership programming in service of birthing individual and community capacity for a better world. We curate culturally relevant healing arts and leadership programming.

ATNSC ​(pronounced Ata-en-sic) at Kahyonh:áke*, is an urban retreat space and social practice experiment in the Great Lakes Region of Northeast Ohio. We are located in the historic Buckeye-Shaker community.

We believe sustainable community change begins with the health and well-being of its members. We believe access to alternative health modalities within a neighborhood, access to information and diverse ideas are critical to building momentum and capacity within a community. It increases innovation, community organizing effectiveness and cultivates the creativity needed to address local community concerns.

Paradoxically, we believe access to diverse global perspectives can catalyze local communities to see themselves connected to a larger narrative and create increased commitment to nurturing a healthy community.
