The Living Commons (TLC) Membership

Before joining, please read "CONTRIBUTE & JOIN TLC" below!

WHAT WE DO INSIDE TLC: 

Weekly Gatherings We have virtual calls each week — for guided meditation, authentic conversation, and open Q&A. No agenda beyond showing up real. These aren't webinars. They're living rooms. Come as you are.

Monthly Somatic Breathwork Once a month we go deeper. Guided Somatic Breathwork designed to regulate your nervous system, move what's stuck, and reconnect you to your body and Mother Earth. This is inner work that actually lands.

A Clear Path Forward TLC has a guided journey from arrival to planetary stewardship — five stages that move you from getting grounded, to regulating your nervous system, to rerouting everyday choices, to connecting with your local bioregion, to stepping into your gifts within the broader regenerative movement. You move at your own pace. The community holds the space.

A Community That Finds You We're building a map that connects you with TLC members, local farms, food hubs, and aligned health practitioners in your area. Belonging isn't just online. It's bioregional. It's your neighbor.

Reroute Our Everyday Spending You don't have to change where you shop. Spend4Regen is a curated resource hub that reroutes a portion of your everyday spending — Amazon, Whole Foods, Zero Waste Store (more coming soon) — back into regeneration. Same purchases. Different destination.

Shared Learning Members bring expertise and lived wisdom from all walks of life. The learning here doesn't come from one person. It comes from the whole. Members who have completed the stewardship course can even host their own calls in the community.

Shared Learning Members and guest speakers bring expertise from ecology, psychology, philosophy, systems design, food sovereignty, trauma healing, and beyond. The wisdom here doesn't come from one person. It comes from the whole. Members who've completed the stewardship journey can host their own calls — bringing their knowledge into the commons as a gift. 

In-Person Events (Coming Soon) As the Commons grows, we gather in person. Immersive, grounded, real. We will organize as the community roots deeper into place.

TLC isn't a course or content library. It's a living community — built to connect, regulate, learn, and act together. Everything here points toward one thing: building the world we know is possible.

CONTRIBUTE & JOIN TLC:

The Living Commons is built on shared stewardship — not profit. We operate on a gift economy. Give what feels right.

$1 minimum/month.
$22 suggested/month

If you can give more, please do. Your generosity opens the door for others.

If you'd prefer to contribute annually instead of monthly, you can do so here.

We've struggled with feeling icky asking for money because we know that when the New Earth is truly rooted in, money won't be needed like it is now. We have sat with this deeply and decided a gift economy model is the most aligned way to move forward as we bridge this new life-aligned world into being.

We all need to be resourced to make this happen. We know many aligned people are concerned about "conscious entrepreneurs" who use social media to market and sell products, communities, and coaching in extractive ways. That is not us.

Your contribution:

Sustains the humans tending this space

Supports and grows shared infrastructure and learning

Flows into regenerative, place-based initiatives and seeds future bioregional economic infrastructure

THREE STEPS TO JOIN TLC:

1. Click the "Join TLC" button. 

2. Choose your monthly contribution ($1 minimum, $22 suggested)

3. Once complete, you'll receive an email with your private invitation link to create a Hylo account and join TLC.

If you’re able to give more, your generosity helps sustain the community and expand access for others. Contributions are not tax-deductible (TLC is not a nonprofit, see below for legal entity structure).

ALIGNED COMMUNITY PLATFORM: 

The Living Commons is hosted on Hylo, a values-aligned community platform. Your invite link will guide you to create a free Hylo account and enter the community.

STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY:

TLC is an LLC that will be held inside a 365-year Public Benefit Trust, the ERA Purpose Trust (we are currently in the process of gifting TLC to the Trust). The Trust is mission-locked to one purpose: to re-align humanity's relationship with all Life. Contributions are for stewarding the Commons, not maximizing profit.

Inside the Trust, TLC can never be sold or privatized. No investor can buy it. No founder can cash out. This Commons belongs to Life itself - in perpetuity.  

No one owns TLC - Mother Earth does. 

HERE’S WHO IS ALREADY INSIDE TLC:

“This space feels like a return. There’s something deeply human about this space. It reminds me of our roots and when community meant conversation, when growth meant reflection, when being seen didn’t require branding. TLC feels like stepping back into that. It’s a living room for people who want depth. For people who miss sincerity. For people who feel that quiet ache for something more real.  I leave conversations changed and softer and clearer at the same time. If someone feels that pull to return to something foundational… something human… something rooted… This space is that doorway. I’m grateful to be part of it.”
- Jade Myers, Homeschooling Mother of 4

“Being in TLC has been truly amazing. The amazing people I’ve met, and the deep, open, and enlightening conversations have filled my soul with what I feel was missing in my life. This community has brought me more love in my life and most importantly, hope during a time when everything felt so dark and hopeless. I feel like just being in the group has organically shaped me to live a life more aligned with all of life and it showed me ways to live a life more embodied with love. The people, topics, and experiences continue to nourish my life and soul.”
- Andrew Kim, Financial Analyst

“Moving through the TLC tracks was deeply satisfying. I had no idea that the process would leave me with a clear sense of what felt important to focus on in 2026. The emphasis on nervous system regulation is integrated into the tracks, contributing to a feeling of ease and momentum akin to sails catching the wind. I flowed through the tracks despite some of the glitches. Three months later, I feel strengthened by the choices made and actions taken. It is a true onboarding experience that illuminates what you value and prompts you to take action to connect with people within TLC, as well as reach out to aligned organizations and people beyond TLC.”
- M. Jackson, Rights of Nature
