Emotional Liberation Fund for Inner Work Spaceholders

Supporting high-integrity creators who deliver fast, safe, and scalable emotional healing through community-based inner work.

The Emotional Liberation Fund exists to surface and support creators offering deeply effective inner work that helps people metabolize grief, trauma, shame, burnout, and loneliness. It's beyond talk, beyond theory, and beyond privilege. Inspired by years of firsthand experience navigating both transformative healing and broken systems, this fund prioritizes modalities that create meaningful emotional shifts in short periods of time, while remaining ethical, consent-based, and accessible to people anywhere with an internet connection. Our vision is a future where emotional support is as easy to find as clean water, no longer hidden in elite circles or locked behind wealth, but woven into everyday life through community, culture, and care.

Eligibility

This fund supports entrepreneurs, artists, facilitators, and spaceholders building high-impact emotional wellness projects that emphasize real transformation, integrity, and accessibility. We are especially interested in work that demonstrates time compression—safe modalities that unlock breakthroughs in hours or sessions rather than years—while remaining scalable and grounded in community care.
To qualify for this fund, projects must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- Clear emotional outcome: Explicitly name the emotional or mental well-being shift your project supports, who it is for, and how change is measured or observed.
- High-impact modality through facilitation: The work should demonstrate depth and effectiveness through facilitated formats as a main delivery process, ideally enabling breakthroughs that would otherwise take months or years through conventional approaches.
- Accessibility by design: Include a concrete access plan such as sliding scale pricing, scholarships, low-cost distribution, free public artifacts, or partnerships that reduce financial or geographic barriers.
- Trauma-informed & consent-based: Clearly explain safety practices, consent language, containment strategies, and facilitator qualifications or advisory support when working with sensitive material.
- Scalable format: Priority is given to projects like workshops, group programs, curricula, platforms, or tools that can reach many people (especially online). Retreat-only models are less competitive unless paired with accessible public offerings.
- Real deliverable this season: You must be shipping something tangible in the near term, such as a workshop series, pilot program, prototype, curriculum, publication, or live experience.
- Community legibility: Your project should be easy for a broad community to understand, support, and rally behind, with clear visuals, examples, or a demo.
- No AI: Much as we believe the power of AI to make changes, this fund is focused on supporting real humans and communities at large.
- Integrity & non-extractive economics: If revenue is involved, clearly explain how it sustains the work, compensates facilitators fairly, and returns value to the community served.
- Proof of seriousness (must have): Show prior work, practitioner training, early traction, testimonials, partnerships, recorded sessions, a credible execution plan, and session schedule
- Active community participation: Curated projects are expected to contribute to the community, not only draw from it. That can look like offering your gifts as incentives or rewards for the fundraising (sessions, swag, space holding, and the like), introducing sponsors, brands, or partners who could help everyone, being present and answering each other's questions, sharing your wins and the parts you're stuck on so we know where to rally, connecting people with resources or collaborators, and casting boosts or donations during Fund Drives.
This fund runs as a circular economy. The projects here help generate support, they don't only receive it, and the stronger the network gets, the more doors open for everyone in it.
Being curated means joining a living community: sharing your wins and the parts you're stuck on, making introductions to sponsors and collaborators, offering your own gifts as incentives or rewards for the fund's fundraising, and casting boosts and donations during Fund Drives when you have the capacity. Showing up for the group matters alongside the work you bring.
In your application, please also include how you'd like to contribute to this fund community.
