The Fund for Transformative Experience

Our world is begging for transformation — of our systems, our relationships, and our ways of being.  

At the heart of every challenge and possibility in our world is people. From sustaining our planet to peace and justice, what is required is not just tactical, or technology, but the transformation of hearts and minds.

Transformation happens through direct experience. Experience that changes our perspective of who we are, our world, and our place in it. 

These experiences arise in spaces of participatory culture, art, nature and healing. Spaces that move our bodies and connect us with a greater whole. Spaces that invite us into new narratives of who we are and how we can be. Spaces that activate our agency to create the more beautiful world we know is possible. 

We invest in ventures at the intersection of personal and collective transformation and direct experience 

Our Principles

Walk the Talk

We believe in the alignment of each venture with the life’s work of those involved. Instead of ends justifying means, we value transformation in all parts of our process: from personal growth, to transformation of financial structures and returns to reflect a more whole and just approach to realizing creative works and impact. We invest in the the journey of each individual artist, founder and team as much as the ventures they are creating. 

Ecosystem

We work with an ecosystem of creatives, business-leaders and funders who believe in playing their role as part of an equitable eco-system that respects the diversity of value offered and applies appropriate gifts and skills to make a venture succeed. As such, we value trust, diversity of opinion, and collaboration as part of the process of collective transformation and cooperation.

Experimentation

We need spaces of pure experimentation, trial & error, permission and exploration to develop ventures in the realm of art and culture. We place a priority around creating spaces for unexpected connections, explorations and attempts to spark new thinking, 

Process

We are building our fund in a different way. Through direct experience, connection, emergence and co-creation, we gather all parts of the system to inform the fund’s structure and how we operate.

Through intimate gatherings of stakeholders across the arts, transformative healing and consciousness, business and operations, we intend to generate the kind of transformation we are seeking for the world, with and for each other first.
