Mission:

  • Engage Across Differences

Our purpose is to co-create a just and sustainable world by holding space for the magic of human connection.

FEELREAL is a social platform that convenes skilled Spaceholders and connects them to the individuals & organizations that need their services. Rooted in the principles of restorative justice, we expand opportunities for meaningful dialogue and community-building to deepen relationships and advance the goals of inclusion, mindfulness, and social wellness within and across public and organizational settings.

 

VISION

A just and sustainable world where authentic relationships are the cultural priority for humanity.

In this world, we all have access to empowering experiences that fulfill our fundamental need for supportive community.

Together we slow down and heal the trauma of unjust systems to co-create a joyful future of holistic wellbeing.

In a word—liberation.

 

VALUES

Interdependence—Recognize that we are all connected. Stand in solidarity and work toward accessibility, dignity, and liberation for people and planet.

Community—Commit the time, energy, and space to build authentic relationships through every interaction. Embody interdependence in collaborations.

Compassion—Know that everybody you encounter holds trauma. Care for your own energy to be in a place to see and hear people fully with kindness.

Accountability—Be explicit & speak your truth. Stand in integrity with your agreements. Act with intention, own your impact & approach any harm restoratively.

Emergence—Be curious and open to possibilities. Nourish yourself with play and joy. Trust that personal and global transformation is necessary.

 

THEORY OF CHANGE

By holding brave & safe spaces for facilitated, small group conversations that nurture the presence needed to unlearn and confront real harm, people are supported in moving through emotional trauma to sustain and expand the collaboration required for individual, collective, and planetary flourishing.
