What, Exactly, is The Purple Ink Cafe?

First, we must say what it is not. It is not a brick and mortar place to which you would physically go. There are no windows to wash or floors to sweep. Its doors are virtual.

The Purple Ink Cafe exists in your imagination.

What’s great about this is that you can come from anywhere – different cities, countries, continents. It can look however you want it to look. It can look different each time you pop in. If you need a calm, relaxed vibe today…you’ve got it. Looking for an energy boost? You’ve got it.

Any time you come to something at The Purple Ink Cafe we gently bring you into whatever space you need at that moment. In the beginning that might feel a little strange. You may get distracted during the guided imagery. Perhaps the cafe will just look like the room in your home where you happen to be.

That’s okay. We will see you and welcome you with open arms.

Connection, creativity, collaboration

When you arrive at The Purple Ink Cafe you are immediately connected with others. Sometimes that connection is for a specific purpose: a presentation, a class or workshop, a master mind or a coaching session.

Other times you show up for companionship, accountability and camaraderie as you tend to your own work. We call these times Creative Work – Inspired Play™. We “come into” the cafe, declare our intention (or what we’ll be doing) and go off and do it. We then regroup and celebrate what we’ve accomplished. It never ceases to amaze us how much gets done in that hour. Although physically apart, there is an energy generated that motivates you to do what is important to you at that time.

Creativity is always in the air. It could be quietly at your side as you use your imagination to come in during a guided imagery. It is in the way you are encouraged to think differently. It can be the presenter who has a group doing art at their individual kitchen tables or a master mind that has you approach your clutter in ways you never would have thought.  It can be a way of looking at our worlds through a different lens that enables us to approach joy in new ways.

For many of these patrons, The Purple Ink Cafe has become a place of collaboration. Women who have met over a training or a workshop have gone on to work together on a project or master mind. The Purple Ink Cafe is fertile ground and seeds are strewn. Cross pollination occurs. Seemingly disparate ideas find a thread and become something new and rich.

The Purple Ink Cafe is also a place of acceptance and belonging. We love the diversity of our patrons. They are fascinating, audacious and talented women. We learn from everyone who comes through our “doors”.

Do you crave community? Do you seek connection with other interesting, inspiring, imaginative women?? What else can The Purple Ink Cafe do for you?
