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.

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.
