Indiglow Oils is a local organization founded by Jenny Bredeken who focuses on the healing aspects of essential oils and helped create unique healing oil for everyone at the event. She focuses on self care and wellness through an all natural approach and hopes to inspire others with their natural healing journey.


The UpCycle clothing swap and zero waste event encompassed three of Treehouse Coworking’s main values; community, sustainability and wellness with the focus on smaller local businesses. Members of the community were able to gather in a welcoming and sustainable event, while learning more about how they can reduce their carbon footprint, and heal themselves through natural means all while acquiring a whole new wardrobe.
Attendees left with their bags full of goodies, hearts full of hope and bellies full of sustainably sourced food. All the unchosen clothes were then donated to the clothing closet of the local school, Robert Louis Stevenson Middle school, encouraging people to reuse and recycle all while helping those in need.At Treehouse coworking we pride ourselves in being proactive members of our community and are glad to say we can have a positive impact on students lives while encouraging sustainability.
