Together Finding Our Way

Purpose

INDEPENDENT COWORKING SPACES

We know that for us when we’re feeling lost in our work lives, it’s coworking spaces that can help us get out of our slump. We seek them out for company when our work-from-home lives because a little too isolated, for inspiration as we access programs and people that put ideas in front of us that we might not have considered, and for a break from a daily life that can feel a little too limiting if it’s just our desk or laptop removed from the world.

We’re also finding that the new crop of coworking spaces often aligns with their own purpose — whether that’s a social cause their membership supports, the group of people they serve, or a community they contribute to.

Below is a selection of the coworking spaces that have caught our attention. Which ones might help you create more purposeful moments in your workday?
