Joysong Collective has three emergent strands of (mostly subterranean) emergence: the Fellowship, the Center, and the Endowment. In each we strive to embody a new paradigm of aliveness for the sake of ourselves, each other, and the living planet.
THE FELLOWSHIP
(aka “the Living Inquiry”)
Our first Fellowships will host 6-12 person cohorts through a full year’s inquiry into a strand of deep personal/professional work. Supported by integrative healers and organizational designers (e.g. legal, financial) from the Joysong Collective, we will dive into the mystery of our own purpose and explore how to more fully integrate spirit into our work/art/activism concerns.

THE ENDOWMENT
(aka “The Gift”)
Joysong is raising an Endowment into a perpetual purpose trust, to be stewarded by our local/global community. The Endowment will allow us to explore the flow of gift (e.g. programs, stipends, seed investments) and reciprocity (e.g. dana, profit-share, pooled equity). The Endowment is radically transparent via OpenCollective. As is the seed, so shall be the fruit.
By default, 50% of funds will be allocated into local projects beginning with our co-development of Hub Sebastopol in the historic Basso Building in Sebastopol, CA alongside our partner Soft Medicine Sanctuary.

WORK-SPIRIT-SPACE
(aka “a Church of Everyday Aliveness”)
We are more aware than ever that embodiment matters. We are not just floating brains on zoom, but creatures of the earth who must be in contact with flesh, land, and each other. We are building a tech-enabled “half-way house” to co-locate teams of integrative practitioners and host retreats, workshops, and co-working alongside a teahouse, bathhouse, & healing sanctuary.
