Did you know creative self-expression can help a person overcome anger and also enhance self esteem? It only makes sense. At a time in history when so many people are glued to their reality TV shows, living out the excitement of someone else’s lives, that we should be finding out how important it is to actually get out and do something creative oneself. The focus of The Solutions Project’s current theme is just that – an encouragement to explore the benefits of creativity in all its forms. Find the artist within you. Add the creative touch to all aspects of your life.

The Solutions Project is a comprehensive, community-building process that shares our collective wisdom and builds the skills we need to create a truly sustainable community. Each month there is a common focus on a particular theme.

This is a truly non-profit, volunteer-based organization so anyone interested in getting involved is encouraged to contact dudley@thesolutionsproject.org or call 360/733-4918. People are especially needed in Event Planning, Promotion/Media, Networking, Video, and Fundraising.
