Free Coworking at Soma Vida January 28, 2009

Come learn about the community craze: coworking and find out how to cowork Soma Vida style! For one afternoon, use the free workspace to complete a project, meet other entrepreneurs or experience work/life balance solutions. You can also indulge in a FREE 20-minute aromatherapy shiatsu massage or try our community acupuncture services.

While some entrepreneurial endeavors and free-lance workers may be feeling the pressure of an economic recession, co-workers at Soma Vida are learning the value of community synergy and sustainable balance. So, what is
CoWorking you might ask?

It is the latest entrepreneurial craze - working separately, yet together - in a shared space.

And, in a city like Austin, where we are all about the "Co-", it should come as no surprise to find a co-working space in the heart of a wellness center! In other words, taking a break means more than a trip to the water cooler. Indulge in a massage to ease the tension after hours hunched over your laptop, find solutions for improving your health with Eastbound Acupuncture, Texas Medicinals or Natural Family Medicine, or release stress with Hatha Flow during your lunch break. Working well is not about burning the midnight oil, it is about creating the space for productive work, feeling supported, and taking time to recharge with self-care.

Most likely you've already toiled in the soil of a community garden, frequented your neighborhood potluck and browsed the aisles of your local food co-op. At Soma Vida, we are supporting entrepreneurs who are extending their "Co-" way of living to also include their way of working. After a few hours in our co-working space, it is easy to see that community and opportunities for collaboration are just a few of the benefits of co-working at Soma Vida. We believe it's about time we all started working...together!
