An Aspen Tree is the perfect metaphor for the
four fundamentals our modern community center is founded upon.
Values
The Aspen Center embraces service, love and support as our core values. The “roots” of The Aspen Center are the unshakable values our community embodies. Just like an Aspen grove, The Aspen Center is made up of an interconnected system of roots that sustains life for our community.
Beliefs
The “trunks” of our Aspen community, symbolize the solid beliefs that stem from our unshakable root system. We believe:
It takes a village to raise a family
Together we are stronger than standing on our own
Self-care is essential in our ability to meet the needs of our loved ones
Self-love is the key to achieving one’s full potential
Behaviors
We collaborate, connect, and create with community members with presence, open-mindedness, kindness, and understanding that each individual is walking their own path. These are the “leaves” of the Aspen tree that symbolize the unique, beautiful, and evolving behaviors we bring to the community every day.
Attitudes
The “branches” of each Aspen tree are an outgrowth of stability the roots and trunks provides and exemplify the attitudes our members bring to the community.
Each individual who enters The Aspen Center does so with an open heart, and an attitude of acceptance, gratitude, and abundance for what the community brings.
