Greetings!
  

The next time you are in the Pavilion -- for a movie or dinner or to cowork -- take a peek at the new TV screen downstairs by the elevator. We have a proof-of-concept slide show of member profiles along with fun photos of events and milestones at OfficeXpats. We expect these scrolling profiles to become great exposure for your business! All members (any level) have the opportunity to participate.

Qigong classes starting, two sessions offered

CarolAnn Barrows, a winner of the Green Drinks membership doorprize, is teaching Qigong at OfficeXpats. CarolAnn is a Level II Certified Qigong Instructor, and has been teaching since 2003. She gave a preview class to Jason and Leslie, and they are looking forward to participating regularly!

 

Qigong (pronounced "chi gung") is a 5,000 year-old practice that has been clinically shown to strengthen the body, repair and regulate the central nervous system, eliminate disease, improve mental capacity and prolong life. Although the non-strenuous movements resemble those of T'ai Chi, Qigong consists of shorter sequences which are easy to learn and practice. You will leave class feeling calm, balanced and invigorated!

 

CarolAnn is offering one evening series (Tuesdays at 7pm) and one daytime series (Thursdays at 10am). The first class is always free, so come give it a try. No special clothing needed. Contact CarolAnn (carolannbarrows@gmail.com) for more information.

Who We Are

OfficeXpats on Bainbridge Island is a workplace solution beyond commuting to the corporate office or working from home.

 

Coworking is about making the personal choice to work alongside other people instead of in isolation. We offer a shared "community" office for remote workers, independent consultants, entrepreneurs, and small businesses.

 

OfficeXpats is located in the Pavilion on Madison, just a 10-minute walk from the ferry terminal. We hope to help you in your quest for 'new ways to work.'
