CHARLIE'S PLACE & THE KINDNESS PATH

We invite you to be part of a care-mmunity, healing through creativity, compassion, and kindness.

Charlie's Place is a healing community, named in memory of Charlie Coté, who died in 2005 at age 18. A talented artist, he inspires this vibrant care-mmunity of artists, writers, poets, story-tellers and musicians. Those looking for peace. To relax into the present moment and simply 'be' at Charlie's Place.

​

The Kindness Path is inspired by the life of Nick Radford, who died in 2024. He was a nature-lover and found solace in our natural world. When asked what he wanted to see more of in the world because of his life, he said, "kindness." Join us for nature hikes, community gardens, and nature-based programs, inspired by Nick's legacy.
