Help Us Keep The EMPWR Alive and Growing

Donation protected
To all the supporters, nearby and far, of my mission and The EMPWR...

Hi, I’m Natalie — founder of The EMPWR, a creative community space in Sitges built around one simple idea: That when you surround yourself with people who dream big, you start dreaming bigger too. We exist to inspire and connect. To help others explore their creativity, dream bigger, and take action.

Over the past year, The EMPWR has become a space for movement, creativity, and real community. We’ve hosted yoga classes, art workshops, sound journeys, networking nights, creative circles, and more. We’ve watched strangers become friends. Dreams turn into real projects. And people rediscover their spark.

But what you probably haven’t seen is how hard it’s been behind the scenes.

I’ve put everything I have into building this space — physically, emotionally, and financially. Rent is high. Bills are constant. As a completely independent space — no investors, no big backing — I’ve done everything I can to keep it going, but despite the love this space receives, I simply haven’t been able to grow fast enough to make it sustainable. Now, I need your help to keep The EMPWR alive and take the next step.

Why We Need Your Help

The EMPWR is evolving.

In between unclear messaging, the studio quickly became perceived as a yoga studio. This next chapter is about honoring the original dream to inspire and connect. To help others explore their creativity, dream bigger, and take action.
We’re moving away from drop-in yoga and into a curated, members-only community—designed for creatives, founders, and those hungry for something more.

We’re building a space that brings people together — not just to move or meditate, but to create, collaborate, grow, and feel less alone while doing things differently.

This kind of space doesn’t just happen — it’s co-created by the people who believe in it.

With your help, we can stay open through the slow summer season and take the next big step towards creating a creative hub here in Sitges.

How Your Contribution Will Be Used

We’re aiming to raise €8,000, which will go toward:
- Rent and core expenses to keep the doors open while we grow our memberships
- Upgrading the studio so it feels even more inspiring and functional as a daily workspace:
• Lower tables and comfortable chairs
• A better kitchen so members can prep and eat meals
• New outdoor seating for the patio

€8,000 may seem like a high goal, but if we can spread the message and get 200 people to donate €40, we can hit that goal!

This is about creating a space where people feel empowered, supported, and at home.

What This Makes Possible

Your support will help:
- Keep The EMPWR alive through the summer
- Expand our schedule with more events, talks, and creative workshops
- Offer more opportunities to connect, collaborate, and be part of something meaningful
- Create a space that truly reflects the kind of community we all crave — one rooted in creativity, courage, and connection.

Ways to Support

It’s not easy to ask — but I believe so deeply in this space and what it can become, and I know I’m not the only one.

If this space has ever meant something to you — if you’ve ever felt inspired here, if it helped you through a tough day, if you believe in what we’re building — or if you’ve only just discovered The EMPWR but feel drawn to what we’re creating — there are a few ways to support:

You can donate whatever feels right. Even €5 makes a difference. Truly.

If you’re feeling called to be part of the community itself, you can also become a member. You’ll get access to classes, events, and a growing community of beautiful souls.

And if now’s not the time, or if you can’t donate, sharing this message makes a big difference.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you.

Thank you for reading, for sharing, and for believing in The EMPWR.

If you’ve ever felt inspired by The EMPWR, or even just hoped to find a space like this one day… now’s the time to help us keep it going.

The EMPWR has always been about community. And right now, community support is what will keep it alive.


With love and deep gratitude,
Natalie
