Frequently asked questions

Will I actually get work done?

That is our intention. The structure of the day and the space are designed for productivity with a healthy balance of community time.

Can I take calls?

Yes. During the day there will be designated spaces for taking calls, but you will optimize your experience by minimizing scheduled meetings.

What do we mean by “soulful community coworking”?

We will be leading with intentionality and mindfulness to help infuse our days with meaning and purpose.

Can I purchase lunch at the event?

You can bring your lunch or join a group lunch order (placed by 11 AM).

Is it alright if I arrive late or leave early?

For coworking, we encourage folks to arrive for the opening meditation at 9:30 a.m. and stay for the closing circle at 5:30 p.m. However, you can come when your schedule allows. We'd love it if you joined us for Shabbat.
