About Nectar Community
Hummingbirds fly a thousand miles, only to stop and sip on the nectar that nourishes them the most.
Nectar Community supports the women of Greenville, SC to live intentionally nourishing lives. Like the hummingbird, we hope to support women in choosing themselves and what feels true to them and their lives at all times.
It all started off as a whisper, a deep stirring in the belly, a feeling in the air. The world is shifting, and we have been called to take action on behalf of all of us. The old paradigms of birth - school - work - (maybe family) - death, is not only archaic, but it is breaking us all in a million fragmented pieces. It is not any one of those aspects that is particularly grueling, but rather the lack of support to listen to one’s own internal guidance, and the lack of community support that is making this hustle life unbearable for most of us.
Humans are meant to co-create, to support one another, to form communities, to bond and attach to others not only for survival, but to thrive. We’ve been doing it for thousands of years, but something has gotten lost as we’ve become more connected to our phones, our streaming tv platforms, and our need to keep earning more and more money to survive.
At Nectar, we’ve decided to encourage the pendulum swing the opposite direction. We envision a world where women no longer feel the need to compete, to judge each other or themselves, but rather build new societies on the foundation of collaboration, support, encouragement, and authenticity.
We believe that when given the opportunity to form deep, honest, and sincere connections, women come together to build a better world for all of us.
Nectar Community was dreamed up by more than just Sara and Sarah, the co-founders, it has been dreamed up in thousands of us. This isn’t new what we are doing, but it feels revolutionary. We’re claiming physical space as our own, to help anchor this energy of community in the fertile soil of Greenville, SC, and hopefully soon, growing all over the world.
Sara heard in her heart clearly, “build the community... and the community will build the space.” That is what we at Nectar are doing. We are starting here, building community. We know that the space is only a gathering place for us, the real heart of this is YOU! It’s the incredible women who make up this community!
Our physical space will offer co-working during the daytime hours, with access to a conference room, a private office, and a collaborative space for doing whatever it is you’re called to do (work/create/connect/dream). In the evening and on weekends our members will have access to classes taught by Nectar Community members, movement (including Qoya classes), art, writing, business building, (the sky is the limit), as well they’ll receive discounts on longer workshops and classes taught by outside presenters. Nectar will open its doors to outside folks for space rentals based on availability.
We are working on an online Nectar Community as well, with more info coming soon, for all of those who live outside of the Upstate, SC area!
Welcome to Nectar Community!
