Metta Integrative Wellness Cooperative
Many of you have known Metta Integrative Wellness Center for years, perhaps since it’s opening in 2008. This is Metta Integrative Wellness Cooperative. It’s like Metta, reimagined.
When Metta’s founding owner decided it was time for her to step away, we, the therapists of Metta, needed a radical solution to keep the business alive. We wanted something different from the status quo – a place where we could all continue to shine as individuals, to be uniquely ourselves, and to support each other collaboratively. We dreamed up a solution in which we could stick together, work together, and be equal partners in deciding the future of the business.
We formed a cooperative. By forming a worker-owned cooperative (or “co-op”), we have joined an anti-capitalist labor movement with a long and rich history both nationally and abroad. Co-ops are business that exist to benefit their workers and the communities they serve.
