TWO IDENTITIES. ONE BELIEF: LEISURE MATTERS.
Jess Jones Recreation Therapy (JJRT) and The Leisure Learning Lab (3L) live under the same roof but they are not the same thing.
​
JJRT is the therapeutic recreation practice that started it all. Our team provides individualized, evidence-informed recreation therapy and leisure support for people who may experience barriers to participation, connection, independence and meaningful leisure.
​
The Leisure Learning Lab is something different.
​
Created and owned by JJRT, 3L is our public-facing community space — part coffeehouse, part arts and culture venue, part learning lab, part gathering place. It is intentionally not a clinic. You do not need a diagnosis, referral, treatment plan or reason to belong here. You can come for coffee. Learn pottery. Hear a local musician. Join a conversation. Make something badly. Try something new. Stay awhile.
​
​
So why do they exist together?
​
Because we believe the things that support a good life should not only exist inside therapy.
​
Creativity.
Curiosity.
Friendship.
Challenge.
Expression.
Learning.
Play.
Belonging.
​
JJRT explores what becomes possible when leisure is used intentionally as part of therapeutic practice.
​
The Leisure Learning Lab asks another question:
​
What if we built an entire place around it?
​
One is a professional therapeutic recreation practice.
One is a radically welcoming third place.
​
They have different purposes, different ways to participate and distinct identities but they share the same roots:
​
Connection. Creativity. Curiosity.
​
Together, they represent our bigger idea of what recreation therapy, leisure and community can become.
​
Leisure is living.
Its a Social Club
Simply!
With a therapeutic lens
This space is literally for everyone!!!
Experience-led.
Intentionally paced.
JJRT is where life slows down, curiosity comes alive, and connection isn’t just a word; it’s felt.
We help people of all ages and abilities step off the treadmill of grind culture, discover what truly brings them joy, and create meaningful experiences with others.
Through therapeutic recreation, social support, and skill-building programs, JJRT turns play, creativity, and shared moments into tools for growth, confidence, and real human connection.
Here, well-being isn’t an afterthought; it’s designed, celebrated, and lived every single day.
This space might be for you if:
You are looking for depth, not just distraction.
You value process over performance.
You are seeking a community that moves at a human pace.
