community imagination centers

Your life is a creative journey start here.
Welcome to Wonderspace,℠ an unconventional in-person social networking and learning place.
You could think of Wonderspace as a "21st century coffee shop." It used to be that the only good place in town to meet, have a cup of coffee and share ideas was at Starbucks. Now there's a new place where you can meet, have a cup of coffee and share ideas called Wonderspace; where the ideas people share are more important that the coffee being served.
Wonderspace is a place, a playful place where the entire community can collaborate and be creative. Wonderspace is also a space, a casual space for you to wonder. To wonder what if. To wonder why not. To wonder what can the future become.
This is where imagination, ideas, instinct and intuition collide. It's a unique place where curious people come to learn, share, work, play and take action. Wonderspace is a marketplace of ideas. It's a space that bursts with energy. It's a celebration the joys in life. It's like a workout gym for the mind.
