Shecosystem Coworking + Wellness was a coworking community rooted in feminine and feminist values. This pioneering feminist coworking space welcomed people of all genders to a workspace and community hub that centred wellness and self-care as part of business strategy.

Operating in Toronto from 2015-2018, Shecosystem created a space and workday designed to promote holistic wellbeing and work-life integration. Shecosystem provided a purpose-built home for collaboration and creative engagement for hundreds of Toronto’s feminist entrepreneurs.

“Shecosystem is life-changing, it’s not an understatement. The friendships and business relationships I’ve formed are amazing, not to mention how it’s helped my mindfulness and balance.”

Leyla, Shecosystem MEmber

Remember these moments? Sitting together in a circle of soft cushions and open hearts while light streamed through the studio windows... Opening Circles (Shecosystem style) are back! I still dream of living in a feminist city. I’m still here. Tonight nine souls gathered to witness and nurture themselves and each other at my first Red Tent on this Pacific coast. Tonight the visitor became the host. On the darkest day of the year I wandered in the woods, instincts and intuition drawing me down a steep canyon toward the sound of water, to a place where golden mushrooms glowed in the fading sunlight. By a solstice altar of wine-red madrone bark, twelve acorns like twelve full moons, charred redwood, yerba buena, and river rocks, I sat quietly and wondered, “How can I belong to myself, and to this place?” I always form my intentions as questions, and this one will give me lots to wander and wonder about as the light slowly returns. Happy solstice loves. 🖤 What’s your intention? How are you marking this turning point? What a gift to start and end my day in circle with you 💜 #shecosisters 🔥 HOME 🔥 HEARTH 🔥 In the light of last night’s full moon, I reflected on a question @chaninicholas asked, prompting us to look back to May, to what was just beginning to shift 6 months ago. “What have you given up and what have you done with the space created?” . Start your day with intention and connection - we’re back at @parkdalecentre at 10AM for an Opening Circle & a full day of coworking today and every Wednesday until Nov 14! As summer’s colour starts to fade, I’m finding the rainbow in alleyways around this 🌈 BEAUTIFUL 🌈 city I call home. This past August, 30 womxn artists painted murals with the theme “Uplifting each other.” Do your mood a favour and go see the #womxnpaintto murals - they run from MCCaul to Beverly just behind the row of shops on Dundas across from the AGO. There are so many talented womxn artists back here including @chiefladybird @mcclusk @shelby_mcleod @lapirie @bkez @mska @jacquiecomrie @_muisca_ @andreamanica @monique.aura @emilymayrose ➕➕➕➕ This morning I came to work as a whole human. This morning I felt inter-independent in my relationships with the other beings around me, witnessing, supporting, collaborating, accepting. This morning I took time to breathe before plugging in.  This morning I paused to receive before responding. This morning I felt the value of a daily ritual to connect with myself, others, and the world-soul. Since the coworking space closed, I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with spaces around Toronto to keep bringing our community together and to start the workday with intention. Shecosystem stared as a weekly gathering, and I’m bringing it back to our roots for a series of 5 weekly Wednesday coworking drop-in days at @parkdalecentre, an awesome new space at Queen & Lansdowne. In darkness and in light, we witness each other, we hold each other, we nourish ourselves and our collective. This is how we get through these maddening times. We gather in realness and vulnerability, co-creating sacred spaces where we can break open in pain, rage, and grief...and learn what it means to wield the force of love. Thanks to the fiercely loving women who joined me for the first Red Tent in a new space; may all our intentions glow brighter with the waxing moon 🌚⛺️🔥🍁💜 Today’s mediation on slowing down, finding the beauty in change & in letting go. Low noontime morning like a cat’s fur Our fury is justified, and so is our expression of it. I've been feeling pretty damn angry the last couple of weeks and letting it show more than I usually do... letting others know that's how I'm feeling, voicing it in collective howls, being with the waves of rage, paying attention to others' anger. . It's easy enough to join the chorus speaking up about creepy right wing abusers like Brett Kavanaugh. But it's been a few days since a wonderful artist I follow on IG, @yinshadowz reported that she was raped by someone on “my team,” and I've been silent about it. 🍂 Sleep now in the womb of the forest. Turn to fuel for some creature of mystery. Let yourself be dismembered, a log lying in the soft green moss. Become porous, inoculated with new ideas that there was never space for in denser days. “What inspires me most about #shecosystem is it’s a community that finds strength in vulnerability, power in empathy, courage in fear, and constancy in change. The kind of community that the world needs more of.” @nik . Thank you for making this space sacred with me. I am a sunflower 🌻 when your love shines on me I grow 🌻 . When the members match the walls 👌
