The Monthly Reset: A Co-Working Session for Creative Women (Virtual)

The Monthly Reset: A Co-Working Session for Creative Women (Virtual)

Sat, Aug 1, 2:00 PM
From Creative Women Entrepreneurs in NYC
4.8

**RSVP on Luma here:** [https://luma.com/4qtemyzl](https://luma.com/4qtemyzl) A simple way to start your month with intention… and actually get something done. ​ Join the **Creative Women Entrepreneurs** community for a monthly, 90-minute virtual co-working session designed to help you focus, reset, and move something forward. If you’ve been meaning to “get to it,” this is your time! **​How it Works:** We’ll meet for 90 minutes on Zoom and begin with a quick check-in and intention setting. After that, we’ll mute and work independently in silence together. At the end, we’ll come back for a short share to celebrate progress. ​– *First 10 minutes:* verbal check-in + set your intention – *Next 70 minutes:* focused work (silent co-working) – *Final 10 minutes:* share what you worked on + celebrate progress ​ This is a form of *“body doubling”*: working in the presence of others to stay focused and accountable. Studies have shown that simply working in the presence of others can improve focus and follow-through. **RSVP on Luma here:** [https://luma.com/4qtemyzl](https://luma.com/4qtemyzl) **​What Should You Work On?** Anything you’ve been meaning to get to! ​– setting goals for the month – fleshing out content ideas – organizing your finances – tackling something you’ve been putting off! ​The time is yours to use however you need. ​ **Who This is For:** Creative women who want a more intentional way to start the month. This is for you if you’re looking for structure, accountability, and a calm environment to focus. **About Creative Women Entrepreneurs** Creative Women Entrepreneurs is a NYC-based community for women building creative businesses. ​We host events designed for real connection, from walks and co-working sessions to workshops and gatherings that go beyond traditional networking. ​ Check out [our calendar on Luma](https://luma.com/creativewomenentrepreneurs) to view our upcoming events. **RSVP on Luma here: https://luma.com/4qtemyzl**

Movie Night in Sea Cliff: All The World is Green

Movie Night in Sea Cliff: All The World is Green

Sat, Aug 22, 11:00 PM
From Plant Powered Metro New York
4.8

[Register here](https://plantpoweredmetrony.app.neoncrm.com/nx/portal/neonevents/events?path=%2Fportal%2Fevents%2F52995)! Join Plant Powered Metro New York for a home-hosted gathering and community screening of [All The World is Green](https://www.journeyman.tv/film/9077/all-the-world-is-green). This 2026 documentary explores the evolution of the global food system and the impact of our food choices on human health, animals, and the environment. Featuring insights from leading scientists, physicians, environmental experts, and advocates, the film examines the role of animal agriculture in today’s most pressing global challenges while highlighting how plant-powered eating can lead to a healthier, more sustainable future. After the film, we’ll open the floor for a group discussion to share reflections and takeaways. Guests are invited to bring a light snack to share as we mix and mingle before the screening. In the spirit of the film, bring a dish made only with whole plant foods — whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Please, no animal-based foods, vegan processed foods, white flours, or added oils, and we ask you to minimize added sweeteners and salt. *Not sure what to bring? Reach out to info@ppmny.org for simple dish ideas or explore recipes via our website at ppmny.org/recipes.* *Hosted by Irene and Ron Rizzo. This event may take place outdoors, if weather permits.*
