About this event

If you are more creative, productive, or just plain happier in the company of others during your work day, join us at The Hive!

What to expect at The Hive:

✨Join Nicola & Dave from Befriend in an inclusive space with genuine, warm people and home-baked goods to stave off the hunger for connection so many of us feel during the work day.

🧘🏼We’ll start the day with some check-in activities to connect and ground us in our work, all of which are completely optional.

📋We’ll be offering a menu of connection-focused workshop sessions that are also optional, and will be held (or not) based on the preference of whoever shows up to co-work.

🍪These events are absolutely free, but we do require registration so we know how many to expect (and how many goodies to bake).

💛We look forward to co-working with you no matter what you’re working on!
