Casa MINGL FAQ's
​What is Casa MINGL?
Casa MINGL is a modern connection studio designed for people who want real community and meaningful conversation. It is a warm, intentionally designed space where members join guided circles, drop-in sessions, and soft social gatherings.
Is Casa MINGL a co-working space?
Casa MINGL is not a traditional co-working space. Laptops are allowed, but the studio is designed for soft work, journaling, reading, and guided connection. The focus is calm energy, quiet productivity, and community, not office culture. You can work here, but the environment is gentle and centered on personal well-being.
Can I use my laptop in the studio?
Yes. Members can bring laptops for quiet work, writing, and creative projects. We keep the space calm and respectful, with no loud calls or group work. Casa MINGL supports focused individual work in a warm, comfortable setting.
Are phone calls allowed?
Short, quiet calls are fine. Long calls and video meetings should be taken outside so the studio remains calm for everyone.
Can I co-work with a friend or team?
Yes, as long as it stays quiet and respectful. Casa MINGL is designed for soft individual work and quiet connection, not office meetings or team gatherings.
​
What is a Circle?
A Circle is a guided hour of conversation where members gather around a shared theme. Circles use light structure and simple prompts that help people open up, listen, and connect in a way that feels natural and safe. You can talk or simply listen. There is never pressure to share.
Do I need to talk during a Circle?
No. You can sit quietly and listen. Circles are designed to support comfort, grounding, and emotional safety.
Do I need the MINGL app?
Access to the app is recommended but not required. The app helps you explore circles, stay connected, join groups, and receive reminders. It is a companion to the studio, not a replacement for it.
Do I have to be a member to attend?
No. Guests can attend select circles and drop-in sessions for a small fee. Membership gives you regular access, free circles, guest passes, and priority for special gatherings.
Can men join?
Yes. Anyone who is respectful, open, and community minded is welcome. Some circles focus on certain identities or experiences, but the overall space is inclusive.
Is the studio child-friendly?
The studio is designed for adults. It is a quiet, reflective environment and not set up for children or childcare. Parents who want to join are welcome to attend circles or sessions at times when they have support at home.
