The Lovely Idea Company opened in the spring of 2020. The business slowly chugged along through the pandemic, managing to stay open and active through that challenging period. They have just moved locations to 130 Main Street and are excited to reopen in April. Their mission is to create spaces that improve mental wellness through classes, workshops, retreats, support groups, and shared flex space both online and in person. Increasing accessibility for those in need is their priority. By integrating their shared values of connection, creativity, compassion, and community, they’ll provide opportunities to grow, find joy, self-reflect, and connect.
The new location on main street will offer shared flex space. A limited number of memberships will be offered, starting at just $75/month. Flex space access will be Sunday - Friday from 7:30 am - 6 pm. The flex space model offers more than coworking; a community is created which invites users to create, connect, and rest. The Lovely Idea Company believes that investing in intentional community creates a foundation of well-being for all involved. Future phases will include community day passes to use the space, classes, workshops, and support groups. With growth, hours and offerings will adapt.
