When you pass through the door of Marion's Ledge you'll be walking into a space that you may think is an unusually large coffee shop, but you'll soon discover that it is so much more. You'll find this a place that is not just comfortable, but stimulating; not just friendly, but engaging. You'll find this a place designed to foster a community of activity, exploration, discovery and challenage; designed to reveal the possibilities in you, and the possibilities in we.
At this point Marion's Ledge is a vision, not yet a physical place.
We'll continue to have more information on what we want to do, why we want to do it, where we are with the project and what we're currently working on.
We hope you'll see something in Marion's Ledge that you'll fall in love with, and we'd be interested in any input you may have.
thank you,
hank hauffe & hailey hinson :)
Mission statement
Marion’s Ledge is dedicated to fostering a rich community of affirmative engagement within which to grow in mind and spirit through our shared experiences of discovery and working together. Additionally, we seek to enhance our greater community of Houston by creating and stewarding an exemplary sustainable space of activity and vision, and to use that as a base to further experience Houston.
Mission components
Facility mission: Marion’s Ledge will be housed in a model sustainable Houston facility combining, at its heart, the Marion’s Ledge Community Commons and Café, along with a spacious venue/work space, and hostel ~ together designed to foster a synergistic place of conversation, activity and discovery.
Houston groups mission: We will reach out and invite active groups of Houstonians to be further discovered by their community and to use our very affordable, capable and active facility to meet, produce and interest others.
Traveling guests mission: We will make the investment of serving young-at-heart travelers comfortable, safe and inexpensive accommodations while offering a rich experience of Houston at it’s best.
Houston guests mission: We will endow our key beneficiaries, our Houston guests, with an inspiring space filled by active neighbors and interesting travelers in order to prime a rich and affirmative culture of engagement and the open inquisitive spirit of a traveler.
Overarching community mission: We will provide an environment, a culture, that aspires...
• to affirm that every life is better when it looks for the positive in and around them ~
• to encourage that respect of other perspectives and cultures is healthier than believing only ours is worthy ~
• to embrace that we are all travelers, not only through geography and cultures, but inherently on a finite journey through time and life ~
• and in all this, to be an open and enabling community that will focus not only on this rich and active environment within our walls, but also act as a guide and gateway to explore Houston’s vibrant life of enrichment and entertainment beyond our walls... for all of us, travelers from away and Houston alike.
