A space to grow, connect and contribute. Whether you’re here to learn, gather or lead - there’s a seat for you.
Become a Member of The Orchid
Whether you’re looking to take a pottery class, join a community gathering, or simply meet like-hearted individuals, our membership is designed to support your growth — and help you bloom.
Start by joining as a General Member to receive updates on upcoming events, workshops, and new offerings. From there, you can upgrade to become a Community Member, where you’ll unlock access to our private online forum hosted through Mighty Networks. Inside, you’ll find conversations organized by shared interests — from creativity to wellness to sustainability — plus early access to events, member-only gatherings, and the opportunity to propose your own meetups.
For those needing an additional place to work on either creative or professional projects, consider the Coworking tier which provides access to studio hours during the day and evening.
For those who want to host, teach, or lead workshops, our Studio Host tier is available by application. It’s our way of supporting local facilitators and giving you the tools to share what you love with others.
At The Orchid, we believe in a heart-centered world built on shared knowledge and mutual inspiration. There’s a seat for you here — all you have to do is say yes.
