Hi! We're Jillian and Syd, creators of Sanctuary of Sacred Presence .

For the past year, we've been gathering people together several times a week for music, meditation, movement, art, connection, energy work, intentional touch, and simply a safe place to exist around other humans.

Our community gatherings are always donation based. No one is turned away for lack of funds, and we offer many of our 1-on-1 services for free or by donation to those who need them.

Now we're ready to grow!

We want to offer more community gatherings, expand our private healing sessions, reach more people, and continue making our work accessible regardless of someone's ability to pay.

To do that sustainably, we're asking for help with some immediate needs:

$15,000 to support our community operations

This will help cover establishing as a nonprofit organization, rent and space fees, gas and transportation costs, art supplies, administrative expenses, outreach, and the everyday costs of keeping our events running.

$10,000 to purchase a vehicle OR a vehicle in working condition

Reliable transportation is a MUST for us to expand and continue our work. We are asking for assistance with the funds to acquire a vehicle in good working condition, as well as the insurance for the first year. We will happily also accept a working vehicle as a donation!

Our first milestone is $25,000!

That money allows us to continue doing what we're already doing, and do more of it, while keeping our offerings accessible for those who need them most.

We believe this kickstart will give us the foundation we need to keep offering this work for many years to come.

BUT, we have a much bigger dream...

What if everyone had somewhere safe to sleep and food in their belly?

What kind of artists, musicians, gardeners, teachers, healing facilitators, builders, parents, neighbors, and dreamers could we become if so much of our human energy wasn't consumed by survival?

We'd like to find out :)

LEVEL UP: HEALING HOUSE #1
Our first major property goal is $10 million.

We want to establish the first Sanctuary Healing House, where we can live and operate Sanctuary of Sacred Presence full time while providing housing and community space for others.

Funds will help us acquire and establish an appropriate property, including inspections, closing costs, renovations, furnishings, accessibility improvements, professional expenses, reserves, and the infrastructure needed to operate it responsibly.

We'll collaborate with organizations, professionals, facilitators, housing and recovery communities, and others who can help us build something that actually works.

And when it works?

We do it again.

More homes. More people housed. More food shared. More jobs. More creativity. More healing.

We start with the people around us. We find others who want to join us. We pay people to help us expand. And bit by bit, we see how far we can take this.

FINAL BOSS: BECOME THE FIRST FEMALE TRILLIONAIRES (in record time)

Not because we want to hoard a trillion dollars.

Quite the opposite.

We want to see how much money we can redirect toward helping humans.

Ten million? A billion? A trillion?

Hell, let's get ridiculous!

Our ultimate dream is a world where every human has a safe and comfortable place to live, nutritious food to eat, access to healthcare, and the space to discover who they might become when survival isn't consuming all of their creativity.

We know that's enormous.

That's the point.

Want to be part of this ridiculous mission?

Donate. Share the campaign. Buy some art. Connect us with people doing this work. Partner with us. Donate land or resources. Sponsor art supplies. Tell somebody who needs to hear about us.

Money is only one resource.

Let's work TOGETHER to make the changes we want to see in the world.

WE LOVE YOUUUU!

Jillian & Syd
