Chill Center, Inc. (Chill Sacramento) has completed its work.
The mission to “create healthy, safe communities are ones in which all residents feel that they belong. Where they can feel free to walk the streets, talk to their neighbors and express their uniqueness” lives on in the many community organizations in the greater Sacramento region, across the country and around the world.
Chill’s specific participation in this mission came to an end early in 2025. Since then, the board has transitioned it’s three main programs to other nonprofit organizations to continue the work. Below are the organizations who agreed to steward our programs.
Inner Work Program: Divine Spark
The teaching team of the original Divine Spark program is leading this work as a collective. The founder, Laura Hansen, is a community member, but has transferred leadership and curriculum development to this team. This leadership transfer is an expression of the truth that Divinity lives in each of us ready to be shared with others.

Compassion Ambassadors Program
A group of grassroot community leaders worked together for five years to develop, implement and expand the Compassion Ambassador program througout the seven counties of the greater Sacramento region. In February 2025, the team gifted the program to the International Charter for Compassion and kicked off global awareness with a webinar with registered attendees from 23 countries.

Peace Pole Gardens Project
A legacy program in honor of it’s founder, the late Joan Marie, the Peace Pole Gardens Project was the operational realization of her vision to engage the community in installing monuments to peace that expressed their desires for a world that includes everyone in a safe, creative and joyful space.
One of the certification program partners, Posts for Peace and Justice, agreed to be the steward for this program. You can learn more at the link below.
