A loosely affiliated group of hosts across New York City are hosting regular co working sessions, as Socratica nodes, across various communities in New York City. Rather than having one mega-pod, we've opted to create a distributed network of smaller, more intimate nodes.

Each Socratica NYC node has its own group of regulars and identity, while still remaining connected to the larger NYC community. This allows for a more intimate experience tailored to the interests and needs of each session.

** Socratica is an open collective of makers, builders, artists, and everyone in between. It started out in Waterloo Canada with nodes across the country.*

🌱 Why?

We want to create space for…

• people pursuing their curiosity
• people helping each other learn
• people encouraging and upleveling each other (e.g. through accountability, feedback, and being cheerleaders!)
• people pursuing projects together
• people forming deeper friendships (by virtue of repeated meaningful interactions)

We exist to support people as they work on the things that they love but struggle to make time for — this place is not for job hunting, catching up on work, sending emails, making sales pitches or networking.

We fiercely protect what makes each node special because the magic only exists when we all buy in together.

We are keeping sessions small and distributed because…

• Keeping regular co working sessions intimate is more fun for participants and hosts. What has worked best in the past has been 5-40 people, with a sweet spot of around 25 people. This means that sometimes we won't be able to accommodate everyone.
• With nodes spread across the city, there are more options for people to find a group that best fits their interests and location. For example, if there is a big group of people interested in animation related projects, we’ll encourage the group to spin off into their own animation focused co creation session.
