Welcome Laura! For those of you who don't know Soma Vida - wow - Laura has created a truly inspiring space in ATX; I was fortunate to visit a little while ago and Laura was incredibly generous with her time and advice. I'm starting a coworking + wellness space in Toronto called Shecosystem. <http://shecosystem.ca/>We are a community without a space (better than being a space without a community) hoping to launch in Fall 2016.
Prompted by your post, I decided to go ahead and create a #wellness channel on the Coworking Leadership Slack https://coworkingleadership.slack.com/messages/wellness/ <https://coworkingleadership.slack.com/messages/wellness/> so we can open up the conversation!
