What is a focus session?

Focus sessions are our signature events hosted on the FLOWN platform, designed to free you from distraction, fill you with motivation and help you get more done than you ever thought possible, even when working remotely or alone!

During a focus session, you have the opportunity to work alongside others and take advantage of the combined energy and motivation of the group by working virtually alongside a community of FLOWN members.

You can find out about the science of why our sessions work here.

At FLOWN, we offer two types of focus sessions:


1. Focus sessions hosted by FLOWN’s facilitators

These are live, guided sessions run by FLOWN’s trained facilitators.

We offer two formats:

  • Power Hour – 1-hour focus sessions, perfect for short bursts of deep work.

  • Deep Dive – 2-hour focus sessions for when you want to settle in and make serious progress.

You can spot facilitator-led focus sessions on the calendar by looking for the spark icon next to the session title.

2. Focus sessions hosted by the FLOWN community

These sessions run in FLOWNspace (right in your browser) and follow the same format as facilitator sessions.

They’re often smaller and more intimate — perfect for connecting with other members and staying accountable outside of main session times.


Why facilitation matters:

Our FLOWN facilitators are trained professionals who create a supportive, structured environment so you can focus without distraction.

They welcome everyone and set the tone for the session, explain the format clearly, and keep everything running smoothly. They also gently guide the group and make sure the space feels safe and productive for everyone.

You’ll often find community-hosted sessions with different formats running throughout the day.
