Harmony Haven Children’s Home.... The first seeds of Harmony Haven were planted high up in the beautiful mountains of Evergreen, Colorado by David and Judi Chase, who ran a Foster home for neglected and abused children. They saw first hand the emotional scars born by children who had never known the safety and nurturing of a permanent loving home. Their vision led them to design plans for Harmony Haven...a permanent home for orphaned drug babies who were born with special needs.
The first two
children welcomed were twins Darius and Tisha. After the untimely
murder of David Chase, Dov Gertzweig stepped in and offered the Foundation
the use of a beautiful three bedroom home in Los Angeles. The next
children to be welcomed were boys Sage and Sky. The philosophy behind Harmony Haven includes communing with Nature through weekly hikes to the mountains, river and ocean, and time spent playing in the natural world, as well as musical expression, creative dance, yoga, exercise, painting and an healthy chiefly vegetarian diet. A support team of therapists, holistic and homeopathic doctors, nutritionists, chiropractors, ministers, creative arts teachers, and foundation volunteers have worked with the children and they have blossomed whilst dealing with their various challenges including autism, ADHD, ODD, in the womb drug exposure and reactive attachment disorder. In 1996, to add
to the interaction with nature, the Earth Harmony Foundation founders
expanded the vision of Harmony Haven by purchasing a beautiful 3 bedroom
summer vacation house for the children located in the Hawaiian tropical
rainforest, near the thermally heated healing warm pools of Pu’alula.
this environment has assisted the children’s healing, and is
the basis for plans to purchase a 20 acre parcel for an eco-arts nature
camp for underprivileged and special needs children in the future
in memory of David Chase.... The foundation plans to expand by including many more children and staff into Harmony Haven in the future. We welcome donations of time, land or money to this beautiful vision. To find out more about the Earth Harmony foundation log onto: |
