Our Healing Garden on the Danforth
In the fall of 2017, Restorative Landscapes worked with us to create a beautiful garden which reflects our mission and the services that we offer to the community.
To begin the process, we met with Restorative Landscapes and looked at what kinds of plants would thrive in the garden, given the sun and nature of the garden beds. From there, we selected plants with energetic properties that represented our work as a healing arts community. The design was approved by our landlords, the redesign date was selected, and on November 13th we got started! The planting began with a cleansing ceremony to honour the old, and we worked to live drumming by Emre. It was an incredible time, and the resulting garden is one that will bring us beauty and incredible energy all year long! |
Huge thanks to Andrew, Jake and Garrett from Restorative Landscapes,
and Anton, Emre and Nadji for all your help in making this a vision a reality!

Main Floor Redesign
After our first year at this location on the Danforth, we have learned from the literature and our community about how to improve our use of the space.
On November 6th, 2016, the IAC owners met with it's Members to share the vision for a redesign, which would increase use of our beautiful Main Floor studio, create a decompression zone at our entryway, improve access to practitioner storage, and increase access for practitioners who don't see clients to come and use the space to work on projects.

Over the winter months, we transformed the main floor into a coworking lounge, and have heard from many Members how amazing it has been to use the space.
Unlike other coworking spaces, which limit use of coworking lounges, the IAC provides unlimited access to the practitioner lounges. Members have appreciated having a space to come and work on their projects, and also the connections that happen between one another because of the layout. Whether people see clients within the IAC or not, the Main Floor Practitioner Lounge has become a space for all of our Members to come together. |
