Connect, Get Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning, and Give.
[Research] [I]

[ II] Increased ties to the community have been proven to support self-esteem, and improve one’s outlook on life.
[GATHER] is a shared studio space, a cowork environment. A neutral place for you neighbors to get together, a physical place for you to plan or attend events. All are welcome to join in. Gather wants to empower and provide you with the tools to learn, give back, share your talents, and explore your creativity. Give back to the community, feel good about yourself. Be a teacher, empart your wisdom and ideas on others.
It’s a playground. A classroom. An incubator. It’s your megaphone. A blank page, a community building at your disposal, for whatever you may want. Events at the Grounds will focus on developing, maintaining and promoting overall wellness. By building a community, we will enable young people to reach their full potential.
Garden + Murals The Grounds will have an outdoor garden for growing organic foods. The outdoor space will offer gatherer’s a place to relax and rest their minds.
To further encourage health, like-minded businesses and partners of Gather will offer deals and promotions, as well as sponsor events.

GUIDE About
recipes, spiritual essays, tech. innovations, inspiring stories, and more And of course, all content is from gatherers, who are encouraged to submit. A monthly zine will be printed and shared at the Grounds and in the surrounding community.
Motivational posters to inspire and help spread the word. The posters will be posted as wheat-paste ads around neighborhoods. These are intended to speak to all, not just the already health-concious.
With advertisements placed in areas with high foot traffic such as subway cars and billboards, Gather will be able to reach not only the health-oriented among us, but also those who may not be.
Our hope is to create a community of passionate [GATHER] advocates, gatherers who desire to rep the brand, who embrace our brand values and beliefs on health and wellness.
GoGather: a launch event With the goal of inspiring and educating about fun ways to live better, we willl host a week full of free events around your city.
Once we’ve opened the public’s eyes to what we’re about, we hope to encourage continued participation through our new locations, app, and website.
thank you.
Through all these executions we hope to become a vital part of your community, encouraging wellness amongst all we encounter. We hope to bring wellness into as many lives as we can, and build an ever-expanding and ever-lasting network of health-concious, wholesome souls.
