About Us

“Necessity is the mother of invention”and there’s a growing need for small business. The founders of Joyous Expressions share a common value for social sciences, understanding the trials of doing things on their own, and the resilience that comes from a supportive community.

The vision for Joyous Expressions and Imaginarium started with a need of a place to “work in”. Imagination fosters creativity, and for many years they considered new ways to improve aspects of entrepreneurialism. This website serves as a way to build a network of artists and entrepreneurs that live and work in Lane County, Oregon.

Such as access to coaches, mentors and consultants; tools in a lending library; crowdfunding and co-sourcing. Learning how to not only manage business, but focus on socio-emotional health. Issues that need not be overlooked are often avoided by Big Business. It is the intent of Joyous Expressions to support its community by providing groups that meet in person and online.

Those of us who care for children share differing needs from our fellow entrepreneurs and artists. As every child is different, so are the needs they place on their guardians. With the responsibility to care for others while they work, these founders of Joyous Expressions are collaborating to form a co-op childcare and natural education center.

Recognizing the sense of intention, accountability and faith that comes from persistence to manifest, many of our founders have a common belief in kindness, stewardship and social change. Bonding through peer involvement the company has embraced a fun and supportive Interfaith network of somatic and religious guidance.
