S&W is located on the second floor of a beautiful brick building in the heart of Osborne Village, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Osborne Village “has evolved into a vibrant mixed use neighbourhood. Near the downtown core, this century-old and densely populated community is filled with character, boasting a pedestrian-oriented and transit-supportive urban form that offers a unique collection of restaurants and shops.� (Kimberley Harrison-McMillan)

There are two employees on during Swan & Waters operating hours. They are both stationed at the tea cart. The tea cart also functions as a reception area where members scan in when arriving for a session. The two employees vary between running the tea cart, and maintaining the studio throughout the day. During slow hours, one of the two volunteers may participate in a meditation session. They are free to meditate privately during the business siesta hours.
