Frequently Asked Questions
Coworking
💡 FAQ — aka Things You're Probably Wondering
👉 Can I sign up to become a Coworking Member online? Nope—but don’t worry, it’s easy! We don’t do drop-in style coworking, but we do offer affordable monthly memberships for folks who want to plug into our creative little hive. Just fill out the interest form on our coworking page.
🎉 Can I rent the space for an event? Yes!
We book private parties, which you can read about here.
🚗 Is there parking? We found a unicorn, y’all. Yes—actual parking in downtown Brunswick! We share our lot, though, so here’s the deal:
-
Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm → please park on the righthand side only.
-
The lefthand side is reserved for our lovely downstairs neighbors.
-
If the lot is full, no sweat—there’s free street parking all around. There's also a bike rack on the righthand side of the building 🚲
💪🏻What the heck is Barre?
-
Barre is a feel-good strength workout—gentle on your joints, powerful for your muscles. Using small, precise movements and mindful technique, barre lifts, tones, and strengthens while improving posture and flexibility.
-
We offer fun, alignment-based barre classes that leave you feeling like you really worked, as well as feeling stronger and taller!
🍸 Is there food and stuff to do nearby? Oh HECK yes. We're just steps away from downtown Brunswick, which means:
-
Cute bars (we heart The Abbey & Vessel & Vine)
-
A movie theater 🎬
-
Green spaces & shops 🌿
-
Tons of tasty restaurants (Ritual Bakehouse = chef’s kiss) You won’t need to hunt for coffee—we’ve got it here—but if you want to stroll, you’ve got options.
📞 Do Coworking Members get private space for calls and meetings? We’re more of a cozy creative collective than a buttoned-up office park. That means:
-
No official phone booths or meeting rooms
-
BUT! If one of the private rooms happen to be empty you're welcome to use it, and the wifi works downstairs at the outdoor picnic table!
-
Need a guaranteed private space? Check out Curtis Memorial Library!
🎓 Classes – Can I really use scholarship funds?
Absolutely YES.
Our scholarship fund exists because we believe that creativity, movement, and healing should never be out of reach. No need to explain or justify—if you want to use it, just ask. The fund fluctuates day-to-day, but we’ll always try to make it work.
👕 What should I wear to class? Check each class description for specifics, but here’s the general vibe:
-
Art classes: wear something you don’t mind getting a little paint/glue/ink/glitter on.
-
Yoga, dance, fitness: comfy clothes FTW. No need to get fancy. One more thing—no outdoor shoes in the studio, please. Our barefoot friends thank you (those tiny rocks hurt).
💃 Can I book a private class?
1000% YES.
We love hosting private classes and parties! Everything on our class menu is available for just you or your crew.
