Welcome To . . .

Winter 2013 Studio Design Project by Chelsea Maier Instructor: Jac Comeau Environmental Design Program University of Manitoba

S&W is located on the second floor of a beautiful brick building in the heart of Osborne Village, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Osborne Village “has evolved into a vibrant mixed use neighbourhood. Near the downtown core, this century-old and densely populated community is filled with character, boasting a pedestrian-oriented and transit-supportive urban form that offers a unique collection of restaurants and shops.” (Kimberley Harrison-McMillan)

The refined, relaxing, and invigorating Meditation Environment of Swan & Water is a half-hour of solitude, wherever you plan it into

your day. After your practice, we’ll send you back into your day with tea in hand.

...We’d like to help you quiet your mind...

Reception & Tea

Come, let us have some tea and continue to talk about happy things. ~ Chaim Potok

Make Tea Not War. ~ Monty Python, Flying Circus

We run S&W with the support of our beautiful employees, community involvement, and local volunteers. Volunteers recieve credit towards their memberships! Ask us about current opportunities

There are two employees on during Swan & Waters operating hours. They are both stationed at the tea cart. The tea cart also functions as a reception area where members scan in when arriving for a session. The two employees vary between running the tea cart, and maintaining the studio throughout the day. During slow hours, one of the two volunteers may participate in a meditation session. They are free to meditate privately during the business siesta hours.

Brilliant Staff.
