Boost your productivity and focus during our signature 2-hour coworking sessions also known as “TAWS writing retreats”. Each session is facilitated by a seasoned academic coach and includes a 10 minute inspiring opening talk focused on our theme of the week, two 45-minute work sessions and group reflections at the midpoint and end of the sessions. So much more than coworking, we are co-creating a supportive community of academics who care about each others’ success. Cowork with us 7 days a week.
Reflect on what you are learning during our monthly Integration Session (1 hour 15 min). This online guided discussion helps you focus on approaches and strategies that support you. During integration sessions, we move away from the doing of the work and synthesize our learning.
Join us once a month to give yourself that “fresh start” feeling that comes from cleaning and organizing any part of your home or office. Clean and orderly environments help us tame distraction and enter into flow. In this session, we support each other to clean up and organize our physical and digital spaces. You are welcome to attend all or part of this 4 hour session. Let’s “co-clean” together!
Experience all the benefits of a longer retreat but in less time. At mini-retreats we embrace the idea that “shorter can be better.” That is, sometimes shorter bursts of productivity help you focus your work. In addition, this mini-retreat also allows you to embed your academic work into your busy schedule. You can leave knowing that you made progress on your academic work even if you don’t have a large block of time to devote to it on a given day. This mini retreat has an added benefit: The opening talk will be recorded (audio only) and uploaded to the TAWS audio library so that you can gain encouragement from it as many times as you’d like
*Participants are not recorded unless they choose to speak during the opening talk.
An academic journey requires real rest. During the TAWS Rest Hour, we reflect upon the types of rest that feel meaningful to us. We practice and embrace resting instead of the “grind” mentality that permeates many academic spaces. Rest and return to your work refreshed and renewed. (Participants receive a playlist of music used during the rest hour).
Pause the work and reconnect with yourself during the TAWS Pause. Academic work can be draining, but in this ”micro reset” we check in with ourselves like a wise friend. We ask how we are doing and we interrupt unproductive patterns so we can make conscious choices for the rest of the day. The TAWS Pause could be the most powerful 15 minutes of your day.
