The Forum for Creative Study

Welcome to a unique Intentional Community in Blue Island, neighboring the South Side of Chicago. We come together to explore and build upon the concepts of peace and sustainability.

As a holistic learning center, we explore spirituality, music, movement, bodywork, yoga, natural building, ceramics, painting, multi-media and glass.

The Forum is 501(c)3, a not-for-profit educational organization inspired by the idea; .....Art for life, and, Life as Art.

Join us in creating a holistic  sanctuary of sustainable living, natural beauty, personal growth and healing.
