I attended a Coffee and Conversations event here that was great. I then rented this space for a small community gathering that is working to advance gender equity and it was a great space. Well appointed, even smelled lovely. Very cute co-work space, good vibes, great hosts. We will certainly be coming back and having any additional gatherings here.

A single event took my business to the next level practically overnight.

The Sphere is a place you feel welcome and adored. It's a perfect place to host an event, get some work done, or attend one of the many intimate networking events that are offered. It is a entrepreneur's dream come true!

The Sphere Northampton is a wonderful addition to Western Massachusetts and the Florence community! The owners Megan and Christina are so inviting and friendly. This is also reflected in the beautifully designed space. I have enjoyed participating in the free groups such as, Coffee And Conversation and Things That Scare Us Financial Planning.
