We don't do ordinary careers either. We're creators of urban sanctuaries across Europe where free-thinkers belong. We call this soulful hospitality. That's why we look for people with soul. People who bring their whole selves to work. We reject the idea of a ‘work’ persona which is at odds with the way we really are. Conformity is the enemy of creativity, innovation and change. It’s the freedom to be ourselves that keeps us alive and engaged at work and play. But it takes courage to be an individual, to challenge convention and look for different, better ways to do and to be. It takes courage to accept accountability and to empower those around us. Join us and you'll find a place where you can be you and where you can belong.
