Behind The Ember Collective

The Ember Collective is the transformation of a former fire station into a vibrant space for work, creativity, and community. During the pandemic, my husband and I purchased this building for his freight business, but as his company outgrew the space and I searched for a home for my yoga practice, an idea sparked, why not create something new?
What began as a yoga studio soon evolved into something bigger. Instead of renting the space to a corporation, we envisioned a place where entrepreneurs, creatives, and community members could gather, collaborate, and celebrate.
Now, The Ember Collective offers conference rooms, and event spaces designed with a mid-century modern aesthetic, blending industrial elements with warmth and greenery. Whether you’re launching a business, hosting a meeting, or planning a special event, this space is here to ignite your ideas.
Our passion is to create beautiful spaces where people can come together for work and play. The ember is always burning, ready to spark something incredible.
