Hi, I wanted to pass this along...(but please note that I am not a contact) Thx, Deb ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Arden Sundari Pierce <yoga at rcn.com> Date: Wed, May 16, 2012 at 10:06 AM Subject: Sun Studio Collective Search To: Arden Sundari Pierce <yoga at rcn.com> Dear Friends of Sun Studio, We’ve had a wonderful first year as a collective providing wellness to our community, experiencing incredible support from you all and from within the owner-membership. We are sadly saying goodbye to a fellow owner-member, Megan Tady, and we are looking for one or two new owner-members to join us. Here is our announcement below and please share with anyone that may have an interest. Thank you, Arden, Sue & Jean Are you looking for a great home for your personal or professional practice? We are looking for a new owner-member to join our collective at Sun Studio. Sun Studio is at the Arts & Industry Building in Florence in a long established studio located convenient to Northampton, Easthampton and Westhampton as well as the Hilltowns. It is a 800 sq ft sunny, beautiful, open space (two walls of windows) including welcoming foyer, a private office space separate from studio, changing room, lots of equipment and ample parking. It can be used for personal practice and wellness classes of all kinds: Taichi, personal coaching, dance, rehearsals, group Pilates classes, private Pilates lessons, Yoga, circles, meditation and more. The private office space can be used for one on one therapy sessions. Clients and students love coming here. For photos and more information visit: http://sunstudio.us/index.html Benefits of becoming an owner-member: ~ Participate in a sustainable economic model and enjoy low rent ~ decisions are made by consensus ~ share an amazing established space ~ gain personal & professional support from other owner-members ~ grow your practice It would be perfect for someone with an established practice and clientele, or a committed newcomer. More details: It’s is shared ownership of the studio business and all equipment and furnishings inside (except for Pilates equipment) This requires a nominal buy-in. A payment plan could be arranged. If you ever leave the owner-membership, the new incoming member buys you out. The monthly “rent” includes rent toward lease and monthly expenses to run the studio. Every member’s monthly rent varies at this time, the range is $200 - $300 all inclusive. Over time we would like to make every member’s rent more equal. We are looking for a new member to join by July 1st when our lease and collective agreement get signed again. The new member would participate in any amendment to the collect agreement that is needed. We share in everything needed to run this space except our individual profits. We meet more or less about once a month to discuss running the studio, check in with each other around how our individual marketing, privates and classes are going and how we can support each other in this regard, and learn from each other on a chosen theme. The private office space is available anytime. No other member is currently using it. Please inquire about the available slots on the studio schedule.
