**Recurring on the second and fourth of Friday of the month** Bring your laptop, notebook, or project. We set intentions together, work in focused silence, then share our progress. Perfect for business or personal tasks — from bookkeeping to decluttering digital photos. One hour, no distractions, just accountability and momentum to finally cross that thing off your list.
Similarities to Other Co-Working or “Get Stuff Done” Spaces
- Time set aside for focus: Like going to the library or a study hall, you’re blocking out distraction-free time just to work.
- Community presence: Similar to cafés or shared offices, you’re not alone — you’re surrounded by others who are working too. That shared energy can be motivating.
- Accountability by structure: Like professional co-working memberships or productivity clubs, there’s a rhythm: start together, work quietly, end together.
What Makes CVWC Co-Working Different
- No monthly rent, no contracts: You don’t have to rent a desk or sign up for an expensive membership. Just come when it fits.
- Structured but gentle accountability: We open with a quick 10-minute “set your intention,” then 45 minutes of quiet work, then close with 5 minutes of sharing (if you want). You decide how much you participate.
- Not just for laptops: Bring a notebook, sketchpad, receipts to sort, emails to answer on your phone, or even knitting. The focus is on progress, not on having the “right tech.”
- Supportive, women-centered environment: Unlike an anonymous café, you’re with other women who get it. There’s kindness and encouragement baked in.
- Affordable and accessible: No need to invest in office space or fancy equipment. This is meant to be approachable.
- Energy reset: It’s not just about ticking boxes. Starting with intention-setting helps shift your energy so you leave lighter, clearer, and more focused.
Core Philosophy
Co-working with CVWC is about building new habits of focus and accountability — while also being part of a community.
Gather. Build. Thrive.
Gather: come together in a shared space with the intention to focus.
Build: use the quiet time to make real progress — on your work, your confidence, and your habits.
Thrive: leave with a sense of accomplishment and connection, knowing you’re part of a community that celebrates progress, not perfection.
