For coworking spaces
You give the room. It becomes one more reason to come in.
Next to everything you already do, a Limen day gives people a reason to come in, do good work and find their own kind of people. I do all the hosting.
Mondays, Fridays + other days, 10:00 to 17:00. Up to 10 people at one table.
The pilot: four days in your space
Stop after four if it does not fit.
A room or a quiet corner with one table for 6, never more than 10. Access for the host on the day.
All the hosting: the Luma page, the check-in, the time, the house rules, the check-out.
People in your space on a quiet day, working for hours. Members who start to know each other by name.
Your community manager gets a short note: who came, what they work on, and how it went.
What a Limen day does for your space
A place to do good work and find your people
This is the reason we do it. People who look for a productive place come in, do good work next to each other, and leave knowing a few people like them. Your space becomes where that happens.
People test your space properly
Someone at an evening talk sees chairs. Someone who works here for a day has tried your wifi, your coffee and how loud the room is at 2pm. If the day is open on Luma, non-members get that without a tour.
Quiet days get used
Most spaces are full Tuesday to Thursday. Our days are Monday and Friday.
People stay where they know names
A table that comes back on a schedule makes people know each other by name, without luck.
Your community manager gets the credit
They announce the day and open the room. They prepare nothing, and their name is on it.
How a day works
Arrive at any block. Leave any time.
Blocks start on the hour, so you can join at 11:00 or 14:00. Calls go to a phone booth or a quiet corner.

Did 3 rounds of pomodoro last Sunday.
Got deep work done, made two new friends, and had coffee with an old one.
Been doing pomodoro ever since.
Living life in 25 min increments is nice.
Thanks to Paul Kozlov for organizing and thanks to Lena Shakurova and Yury Sukhoverkhov for the healthy peer pressure 🤓

Pasha introduces people clean and sharp, so you instantly get this is your kind of person. That alone isn't enough in our goldfish-attention world — but Pasha's got that covered too. His coworks, hangouts, and dinners keep bumping you into the same crowd, over and over, like it's no big deal. I found a business partner and a couple of leads out of the transactional side of it. What actually stuck was feeling like I've got my people in his warm Limen.

All day today I keep walking around thinking what a cool project this is! Huge thanks for yesterday's get-together — it was great!
Super productive and super social, and somehow the day went by so easily and happily. With structure, and with time to get some "fresh air" between the pomodoros.
Of course you don't pick the people on purpose, but such great people came together!
Anyway, thank you so much!

I've been regularly joining Pasha's co-workings for a couple of months now and that's always one of my favourite days a week. I love that I meet new interesting people (and Pasha always has most interesting people coming!) and I like the structure of setting a goal and working on pomodoro, helps me stay focused and productively while always enjoying togetherness and spending time with nice people. If you never tried coworkings before, highly recommend!
Lena ShakurovaFounder @ ParsLabs | AI AdvisorI am surprised how I found these sessions both productive (being very focused during the pomodoro timer on) and joyful (there was always a lot of laughter).

I have joined already a few coworking sessions organised by Pasha. I am surprised how I found these sessions both productive (being very focused during the pomodoro timer on) and joyful (there was always a lot of laughter). It was nice meeting new people too. And because of some reasons beyond my comprehension, it was very easy going, and rather than giving a formal handshake to a new person, I mostly embraced them with a hug. So the vibe is very homy/friendly rather than formal. Will continue joining.

Joined a focused coworking session by Limen today for the first time - it was a great experience!
First of all - got more things done than I would at home (laundry is always there for you, you know 🫠).
Nice bonus - met great people and finally discovered the new home of Localie Hub Amsterdam.
Great combo! 🤝
I've known Paul Kozlov for about 15 years and he has a superpower - great people gather around him in a very natural way.
If you're working from home on Mondays/Fridays - I highly recommend to try!

In writing, before we start ↓
What we won’t do
- We don't sell Limen in your space against your own offer.
- We don't export or keep your member list.
- We don't speak on behalf of your space.
- We don't start with another space on your street without telling you first.
What we get
- Our name in the announcement.
- Co-host on the Luma page when the day is open.
- The right to invite people we met to our days in other spaces.
Who hosts it
I'm Pavel, the facilitator. I open the room, keep the time, and at check-in I suggest who you should meet. I have designed formats for meeting people since 2018. I co-founded Random Coffee, grew it to $200K ARR and 10k meetings a week, made it profitable and sold my stake. Then I moved to a new country to build again.
You are welcome to join one of our days as a guest first and see if the vibe fits.
After the fourth day
We look at the numbers together: how many came, how many came twice, how many were not your members, how many asked about a desk.
If it didn't work
You stop. It cost you a room for four days and nothing else.
If it worked
We keep going and adapt to your needs and requests.
Questions spaces ask
Is this an event?
People come to work and leave with work done. The social part happens in the breaks, at lunch and at check-out, so it works for members who skip networking drinks.
Who can join?
Your members, and people from outside your space too.
Do you need a closed room?
Preferably, but a quiet corner works. Check-in and check-out must not disturb people who aren't at the table.
What if only two people come?
Two people is a day. We run it, and the number goes in the note.
We already run events. Why this?
Your events are in the evening and pull the same confident 20%. This runs during the working day and gives quieter members a reason to come in.
Does anyone from our team need to be there?
No. One announcement in your member channel before the first session, and 30 minutes once to agree the dates and the rules.
What does the pilot cost?
Nothing. If it worked, we keep going and adapt to what you need.
