The future of work: a zenworkspace library tour
Presented by the ZenWorkspace foundation
Because your anxiety doesn’t clock out at 5pm.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or anxious about being your true self in your job—this event is for you.
The Future of Work is a free 90-minute experience happening across Puget Sound libraries, designed for young professionals and creatives who want to rethink how we work, live, and lead.
Led by Steven Onana—author, mindfulness coach, IT Engineer and ex-corporate team leader—the experience includes real talk, healing energy, and practical tools to help you take your power back.

We keep it simple, real, and deeply grounding. Here's what to expect:
🧠 Live Reading

Let your nervous system finally exhale. Close your eyes and ground yourself.
