No, this is not a shelter in any way, shape, or form for single mothers. It will serve as a daytime creative sanctuary, and only those who have been screened and interviewed through our intake process will be able to participate—whether through creative collaborations, receiving support, or any other unique offerings we create.

This is a very important distinction to make because, for the time being, the space will also serve as a private residence for my son and I. Any additional support we may offer individual mothers and children will be determined on a case-by-case basis and will not be publicized or offered to the general public in any way, shape, or form.

In the future, as we expand and develop an infrastructure that is actually conducive to housing mothers, that may change. But at this current phase, we are simply not there yet.

Our $12,200 funding goal covers:

• $6,100 — First month’s rent
• $6,100 — Security deposit

Any funds raised beyond the initial $12,200 goal will be used specifically for moving expenses and furnishings, equipment, and other materials that will help us prepare and optimize the primary creative space for use.

In my past campaigning experience, I’ve found that people who make large financial contributions can sometimes feel that their contribution automatically grants them a greater stake in the space—whether through increased access, decision-making authority, or a say in how the space operates.

While I’m absolutely open to those types of arrangements, particularly with someone interested in becoming an angel investor or sponsor with an agreed-upon return on investment or access benefits, those terms will not be automatically guaranteed based on the size of someone’s contribution.

Any arrangement involving decision-making authority, operational input, a return on investment, or special access will need to be discussed and mutually agreed upon beforehand.

I’ve also had contributors to previous projects who gave without any expectation of involvement or authority over how the project unfolded, and I welcome that form of support as well. I’m open to both, but I want the expectations and boundaries surrounding each type of financial contribution to be transparent from the beginning.

If, for any reason, we’re unable to secure this particular space by September 14th, 2026 I will begin looking for another space and redirect the funds raised toward securing a suitable alternative, following the same overall template and intention originally created for this space.

Donations beyond financial contributions can include, but are not limited to, furniture, kitchenware, décor, herbs, tinctures, wellness products, yoga mats, light fixtures, carpets, plants, Japanese floor beds, pillows, and much more.

Upon being approved through our intake process, you will be added to our community group chat on Telegram, where we can communicate current needs more directly. We will also provide a formal list of needed items, which will eventually be updated on the website on a case-by-case basis. This allows us to receive donations intentionally and only when we’re in a position to properly use, store, and distribute what is being contributed.

After our initial startup goal is met, there are a plethora of ways we can continue generating the $6,100 needed each month to sustain the space.

Founding members can create collaborative content and build a subscriber base—with just 61 subscribers at $100 per month covering the full monthly cost.

Additionally, we can offer workshops and services to support the community, including those centered around homeschooling, rent the space for other creative projects and small (private) gatherings, and continue accepting financial contributions from our community.

Over time, we can also establish relationships with sponsors who can help offset or fully cover operating costs as the sanctuary continues to grow and expand.

As far as our daily operations are concerned, given that I am a single mother with a son whom I have raised very unconventionally and outside of the social standards that govern academic performance and things of that nature, homeschooling will be a consistent and daily part of our operations.

However, homeschooling won’t take up the entirety of what we do. What I’m hoping is that many of our collaborative efforts, if and when appropriate for children, can be woven into homeschooling teachings, the development of life skills, and many of the Waldorf-inspired, nature-based practices that we intend to incorporate.

With that said, we’ll also prioritize field trips, visiting farms, and other hands-on experiences outside of the space, especially as we raise additional funds for transportation and other resources that allow us to expand those opportunities.

Ideally, I see the space beginning operations as early as October 1st, giving us time to furnish the space, get settled, and strategize around what is most in demand and needed within the local community, as well as the creative urges our founding members feel called to explore and fulfill.

We plan to operate around core daily operations with a bit of a loose template; meaning that that I don’t want our daily operations to be so strict that when we feel called or inspired to move in a different direction, there’s too much rigidity preventing us from doing so creatively or start going against what our bodies are asking for.

As you can imagine, I’ve had my fair share of questionable experiences given my line of work. As a psychospiritualist and karmic advisor offering “shamanic” services and content with a certain depth that has penetrated far beyond many of the typical, trendy things that most self-proclaimed healers and spiritualists offer, my work has become become a rare commodity.

With that said, when people feel truly seen for the first time, it can sometimes attract a level of neediness or codependency that I have to be very careful about allowing into the space. Otherwise, it can make me responsible, by default, for someone else’s journey when it is ultimately their sole responsibility to be responsible for themselves.

With that said, when reviewing intake from either potential collaborators or single mothers seeking support, there will be discernment around who is invited into the space. Again, this space does not serve as a shelter or any form of rehabilitation. Therefore, mothers or collaborators will not be invited into the space if they are still deeply trapped in the perpetuity of victimhood, survival mode, desperation, or anything else that would take them out of integrity with the energy I intend to cultivate within this space.

The intention is to offer support without creating dependency, and to cultivate an environment where everyone entering the space maintains responsibility for themselves, their journey, and what they contribute to the collective.

Note: Intake will be redone periodically to maintain the integrity of the people participating in the space, especially as it pertains to any discomfort or misalignment that might surface, because the comfort and the fluidity of the space is our top priority, not any kind of self-sacrificial, people-pleasing, loyalty-based operations. Change is the only constant that we have, and it will be honored in accordance to natural order.

In the past, with a project I attempted in Costa Rica to create an Afro-Indigenous community space, I was able to raise $30K in one week, which ultimately served as the down payment on the property. I made that down payment, but at the time, I didn’t have enough experience or oversight to understand that the amount we raised didn’t come close to covering the overall cost of bringing a project of that scale to fruition. At that age, I simply wasn’t experienced enough to recognize that my campaign hadn’t accounted for the complexities of what something that large would actually require.

What I’ve learned over the years is that many companies, organizations, and community projects that eventually grow to a larger scale begin very small—often out of someone’s home—prioritizing the people and community before expanding their physical infrastructure.

With my past community projects, I did the opposite. I prioritized the finances and securing the literal physical structures without first prioritizing the people who would actually make those spaces a community.

This time, I want to put people—particularly single mothers—and the local community at the forefront before pursuing any expansion that may exceed my current experience or expertise. I have a very loyal following and have demonstrated that I can influence people to rally behind a vision, but influence alone doesn’t compensate for true, 360-degree campaign experience.

This project is intentionally starting small so that the community, relationships, and infrastructure can grow alongside the vision rather than trying to build the vision faster than the foundation underneath it.

The space is a very, 2 story large brownstone. I don’t have the exact measurements of the primary creative area yet, but it has the capacity to host workshops, photoshoots, sensual movement sessions, visual productions, podcasts, and a wide range of other creative projects. The possibilities are vast, which is ultimately what inspired me to have the space double as a creative sanctuary in the first place.

However, this is not a space where strangers will be coming in and out freely because being as though it doubles as a private residence, participation will be limited to people who have gone through our intake and screening process.

I want to be very clear about that—not only to remain respectful of the residential nature of the property and my agreement with my landlord, but also to avoid giving the project any type of shelter or rehabilitation undertone that I don’t intend for it to have.

So essentially, the majority of community programming, collaborations, and creative activity will take place on the first floor, keeping the upstairs primarily residential.

Being that this space prioritizes single mothers and women creatives, it will not be automatically open to men.

Men will primarily be invited into the space when they are offering something that directly supports its purpose—such as mentorship or workshops for young boys; particularly the sons of single mothers who don’t have active fathers in their lives.

Men who are granted entry into the space would also be assisting with repairs, building, moving, putting things together or contributing in other ways where their skills and presence would be helpful.

There may also be creative collaborations that require men to fulfill certain roles. In those instances, we would want to ensure that any man entering the space is someone who is safe, has been screened spiritually and otherwise, and can be trusted around women in vulnerable states as well as children.

Men interested in participating or contributing to the space will therefore have a completely separate intake and screening process.

Yes, my work will be woven into the space, but not in a deliberate way that reflects anything I used to do online. Meaning, if you happen to be around me and I pick up on things, I will express them. If my spirits move me to pull you to the side and do any kind of work, I will allow those spirits to do what they will upon you giving me consent.

If I feel moved to create a service, offering, or event on a whim—particularly an intimate offering that involves anything that grazes the topics and practices I’ve discussed online—I will allow that to unfold organically as well. However, these things won’t be sold as isolated services, courses, or any of the teaching formats I’ve previously offered.

Instead, my work within the space will be much more embodied, real-time, and in-person. I think this will be quite integrative for people who have followed my work for years because you’ll have an opportunity to actually feel, experience, and be impacted by my work tangibly, beyond the limitations of virtual spaces.

No, you do not have to live or stay in New York City long-term to actively participate in this space. You can be passing through, making a pit stop, staying in the area temporarily, or simply coming and going.

However, regardless of how long you’ll be in the area, participation will still require completing our intake and screening process beforehand.
