Creative Coworking & Wellness
About Electric Cottage Collective
Electric Cottage Collective (ECC) is a creative coworking and wellness space that resists grind culture and nurtures embodied, community-rooted change. Located in the heart of Brunswick, ECC is a vibrant hub for creativity, connection, and collective growth.
More than a coworking space, we’re a collective of multidisciplinary artists, wellness practitioners, and changemakers who believe that art and social progress are deeply intertwined.
Alongside our regular members, ECC hosts offerings such as yoga, dance, visual arts, strength-building, herbal wisdom, sound healing, and more—practices that help us return to our bodies, where personal liberation begins and ripples outward into collective freedom.
Here, we welcome:​
-
Remote workers seeking an inspiring, grounded place to work
-
Artists looking for studio space and creative community
-
Activists and justice-oriented folks exploring new forms of expression
-
Anyone craving connection, curiosity, and collaboration
-
Join us as we create, rest, and imagine new possibilities—together.
“Be Life Moving Towards Life” - Adrienne Marie Brown
I’m Liz Kovarsky (she/her) — a multidisciplinary artist, educator, and social worker, and the founder of Electric Cottage Collective in Brunswick, Maine. My path to creating ECC hasn’t been a straight line. I moved around a lot growing up, but no matter where I landed, I always found refuge in art. That early devotion to creative expression eventually led me to MassArt where I found a crew of fellow weirdos who believed art didn’t need to be pretty — it could be radical, hopeful, and transformative.
After school, my creative life carried me west to San Francisco, where I worked as an art teacher and printmaker — and taught yoga, too. Through those practices, I came to understand how deeply art, movement, and healing are intertwined.
At a certain point, I felt compelled to understand the systems I had long questioned. So I moved back to Maine and pursued social work, diving into trauma, body-based healing, and systemic oppression. But the work came at a cost: burnout and moral injury took a toll. It became clear that working inside oppressive systems wasn’t how I wanted to spend my life.
Recognizing my limits became an invitation to pivot toward something more life-giving. Rather than continuing to push through systems that drained me, I chose to lean into life itself. I created Electric Cottage Collective not just as a business, but as a movement — my own radical act of care. ECC is a space where creativity, rest, reconnection, and collective care aren’t luxuries, but the foundation for a way of being.
The space reflects my values: coworking that feels soulful instead of sterile; wellness offerings that honor both body and spirit; and a community built not on transactions, but on genuine collaboration. By resisting grind culture, I’m cultivating a world where curiosity, play, and care sit at the center.
My story isn’t just about my own transformation — it’s an invitation for others to experience their own. ECC is for anyone tired of burnout, anyone dreaming of work that nourishes rather than depletes. Through my journey, I’m learning what it means to move toward life — and I’m building something that supports that movement for all of us.
What We’re Building
Electric Cottage Collective is a hybrid coworking, arts, and wellness space centered on collective care. We’re building a supportive environment for creative and purposeful work—where people can connect, express themselves, and find balance.
Our space hosts a wide range of classes and events, from craft clubs and donation-based yoga to figure drawing, dance and barre classes, meditation, karaoke nights, clothing swaps, and film screenings. Many offerings are free or sliding scale, supported by a fluctuating scholarship fund.
Our coworking community includes designers, ecologists, farmers, therapists, artists, musicians, marketing professionals, programmers, activists, local leaders, writers, and healers. Their work varies, but their goal is shared: to live fully and help others do the same.
This isn’t just a place to rent a desk or take a class—it’s a community committed to creating a more connected, creative, and sustainable way of working and living.
