It's also encouraging to see <a href="www.faithpopcorn.com" rel="nofollow">Faith Popcorn's</a> short snippet called "Anchoring" in the Trend Bank which takes it a step further, heralding the growth of spirituality in the workplace. Think you'd like to give it another try in the 2nd coworking space? I love what Alex has accomplished here for context in keeping a holistic focus on (human) sustainability. Hi Brad,

I had a great convo with Geoff DiMassi from P’unk Ave about their “yoga fridays” and was definitely inspired.

Think you’d like to give it another try in the 2nd coworking space? I love what Alex has accomplished here for context in keeping a holistic focus on (human) sustainability.

I like what you said about being your own boss -- sometimes I don't let myself off the hook so having a supporting community that encourages things like Yoga really appeals to me. Unfortunately the first coworking space didn't work out in the long-term; I found that many of the computer people that came didn't seem to be attracted or interested in that kind of "touch-feelie" stuff, even though I am, so I didn't continue it in the 2nd coworking space. Exciting to see that others have figured out better models for it, such as Yoga once a week on Fridays. Seems easier to continue and sustain that yoga every day, which is what I tried to do.
