We choose to gather regularly, learn from each other, and live a better life surrounded by friends.
Each Sunday, we gather for dinner at a community member's home.
We chat, decompress, and place a big group order for food. After eating, we sometimes give casual lightning talks to each other. People share what they're reading, recent significant experiences, or sometimes even a song.
We love learning, and think more folks should teach what they know. That’s why we created Fractal Boston University, a DIY education experiment where we teach each other about our passions.
Past classes have ranged wonderfully wide: “How The Somerville City Government Works,” “Chakra-Inspired Yoga,” and “Pencil Portraiture.”
It turns out many people have knowledge worth sharing, and you don't need much more than curious students and a spare living room to unlock it.
We meet up 1-2 times a week at coffee shops to work on our projects together. Folks often say it's the most productive part of their week.
Coffee breaks frequently turn into brainstorming sessions, writing feedback, or debugging help.
“I was planning on living in a series of cities for six weeks each to decide where I wanted to settle down. After finding Fractal Boston, I canceled that plan and signed a year-long lease. The community is a large part of why I chose to live here.”
— Celia, Fractal regular
Fractal NYC started in 2021 when Priya and Andrew created a community of artists, technologists, and humanists who wanted to live near each other. They grew to over 1000 members with events, classes, coworking spaces, and even got apartments in the same building.
With Andew and Priya's blessing (and advice!), we're running that same playbook and trying to bring that magic to Boston. Wanna help? Join us!
