Where your only commitment is your own creation
An atelier is a place for allowing. For giving space to our ideas. And letting them take shape.
It is also a place for doing. For trying. For experimenting. Putting together. Taring apart.
In an Atelier we exist together, but each draw on our own canvas. Quietly work on the things that excite us. Tend to our mess (or procrastinations). Silently enjoy the company.
Interactions in an Atelier are not comparative or competitive. They are small, targeted and meaningful. Giving inspiration, comfort, perspective and maybe a little bit of help.
An Atelier does not expect or demand - it simply… invites you to create.
The premises are simple. A monthly 2 hour slot. We all come to co-work, with minimal distraction. And the comfort of knowing, someone else is here, working too.
Each brings their own lists, ideas, projects, current creations and we work next to one another - silently - for a moment. Any conversation is your choice.
First 1.5h is for silent co-working.
Last 30 minutes are for an optional tea/coffee-break, shares and socialising.
In more detail:
- We log on to a Zoom meeting - you are welcome to drop in whenever you want within the first half-hour.
- I provide a couple of questions to check-in via the chat… and potentially a couple of reflection prompts of the mood hits.
- Everyone works silently on their things. You may ask for help in the chat (to receive immediately in a break-out, or set up separately).
- Option to drop off after 1.5h or grab a beverage of choice and stay for a moment to talk.
That's it.
How it works
This is for you - no strings, no demands
If you need 2 hours of solid sound boarding and conversation - this might not be the place for you. BUT if you:
- Crave a sense of community, but don’t want to join, juggle and maintain more communities...or apps or forums.
- Want the company of other creative people while you work, but not the responsibility or deadlines of achieving things together.
- Need a space (and time) to help you focus on the things you have been putting off, those that you are resisting… or those that you quietly dream of.
- Would like to be able to just dip in, talk and feel support, without a specific goal or purpose in mind. Or, just enjoy knowing there is the option of socialising and skip it all together.
- Long for a place where you can show up with - and to - your mess and big ideas, with the possibility to get help and perspective from someone else.
This might be a great place.
Signing up doesn’t mean you have to come every time… it just sends you a reminder and a placeholder for your calendar for each occasion.
I recommend putting them in of course… If nothing else to remind you that the option is there.
