Help Us Launch a New Nonprofit for Emotional Freedom & Reintegration

We are raising funds to create and launch a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to emotional freedom, reintegration, and lasting human transformation.
This work serves individuals across the full spectrum of life experience — from those navigating incarceration, addiction, trauma, and instability to high-performing leaders seeking clarity, resilience, and inner stability.
This campaign supports the organization's founding phase. Donations at this stage are not yet tax-deductible.

The Foundation of This Work
This initiative is led by Tim Davis and Francis O’Connor, whose partnership bridges the practical spirituality of The Untethered Soul with the lived wisdom of the 12 Steps Addiction Recovery.
Together, they bring over 100 years of combined lived experience in spiritual practice, leadership, recovery, and service, applying these principles in real-world settings including prisons, recovery communities, and leadership environments. As well they have hundreds of hours teaching the combined topics to groups live, via Facebook, and in prisons.

A Deeper View of Addiction
Addiction is not the root problem - it is a response to unprocessed trauma, emotional pain, and dysfunctional mental conditioning driven by unmanaged thought patterns.
Lasting change requires developing inner awareness, emotional resilience, and stable support.

Who We Serve
We support individuals and communities navigating high-pressure and high-vulnerability life circumstances, including:

  • Incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals
  • People in recovery
  • At-risk youth, single parents, and those in life transition

The Gap We Address

While education, therapy, and job readiness are essential, many people lack:
  • Awareness of habitual thought patterns
  • Emotional intelligence for regulating fear and stress
  • Non-dogmatic spiritual guidance grounded in lived experience
  • Supportive community and trained mentorship
  • Continuity of guidance during high-risk transitions

Without these inner skills, progress often fails to last.

Our Mission
To provide educational programs addressing addiction, stress, and self-defeating behavior by integrating the 12 Steps, diverse spiritual traditions, and modern science.
Through a multi-level learning pathway — including mentor training, certification, and community support — we offer a grounded approach to lasting change rooted in the insights of The Untethered Soul.

What Your Donation Will Support (2026)

Finalizing an 8-week core curriculum
  • Establishing nonprofit infrastructure and IRS compliance
  • Running pilot cohorts and refining the program
  • Collecting outcome data and testimonials


Our Vision
This nonprofit will serve as a hub for curriculum development, mentor training, and support communities, with a long-term goal of sustainable impact through partnerships and program licensing.

How You Can Help
Your support makes you a founding supporter of a new paradigm of reintegration - one where transformation begins within.


Together, we can break cycles of trauma and support lasting emotional freedom.
