About
Anusia
The person who created the room she wished existed.
The Imagination Hour is a dedicated space for co-working in creative flow. Think of it as your gym class for your creative work and your future self. People bring the novel, the business, the next chapter they’re imagining into being, and work on it alongside others doing the same.
Inspired by the tradition of writers' salons, we don’t share information in these sessions. We begin with a short guided creative practice to shift us into flow, then mute our mics and work for 50 minutes in community. You don't have to talk. You don't need to turn your camera on.
How the hour works

Fifty minutes of quiet work. Mics off, together.

Because you cannot become what you cannot see.

In their words
What the hour actually feels like
"This was better than other practices I've done. Through the prompting of the senses, the place built itself. And, I met my best self there."
"I just love these Thursdays together. I feel a little stretched to make the call for some boring reason or another, usually work, but I always feel better after we are all together and sharing."
Why it's the place to start
It's also how you try the Bottega on for size
The Imagination Hour is the front door to everything Soul Toll. It's a genuine practice on its own, and it's the easiest way to feel whether this community is for you, before you decide anything.
From here, the Bottega membership opens up the community, the content library, and the creative practice, with the programs, Explore, Build, and Launch, when you're ready to go deeper. This open hour helps you feel where you'd start, and who you'd be starting alongside.
Come in. See what happens when you finally begin.

A few good questions
Do I need to have an idea already?
No. Plenty of people come with just a feeling that something wants to change. The hour is built to help you find the shape of it, not to test you on it.
Do I have to turn my camera on?
Never. Camera optional, always. Some people like to be seen, others prefer to listen and write. Both are welcome.
Is this a sales pitch for the Bottega?
No. The hour stands on its own. If it turns out you want to go deeper, the Bottega is there, but there's no pitch and no pressure in the room.
What if I can't make it every week?
Come when you can. It's a standing hour, not a course to keep up with. Drop in whenever the week allows.
