Mighty Forces Community

You are a mighty force.
And together, we are even mightier.

Our purpose: to energize and learn from each other as humans committed to doing meaningful work, and to experience radical joy, creativity, and generosity — despite fascism.

Is the Mighty Forces Community for you?

🤔 Is personal integrity important to you?

🤔 Do you like to laugh?

If you answered “yes” to these questions, then you are a strong candidate for joining the Mighty Forces community. Hooray!

Mighty Forces Community Membership: Get The Details

When you join the Mighty Forces community, you join a group of people committed to doing meaningful work in the world, while laughing as much as possible.

We teach each other, help each other problem-solve, and we cheer each other on. We invest in being part of this collective because we know that connection with kindred spirits is essential fuel for navigating lives of creative and ambitious service.

What’s included

  • We gather monthly to connect and explore what exactly it means to experience radical joy, creativity, and generosity, despite fascism. Led by community member Jay Moon Fields, our gathering is inspired by the age-old council model, and offers space that is radical in and of itself.

    MEET JAY:
    Jay Moon Fields, M.A. is a leading educator, somatic coach and author. Nearly a million people have taken her courses featured on LinkedIn Learning, and her books include Teaching People Not Poses—used by yoga teacher training programs worldwide—and Less Lost. Jay is also the host of the popular Hey, Wait podcast, which explores how to stay with what’s true in our interactions with other people.

  • Think of Wednesday Workshop (weekly, 12-2pm ET) as a mid-week shot in the arm — a chance to crowd-source, get inspired, and get things done. The expectation is that you can join at least once a month.


    HOW IT WORKS

    Hour 1: First, a quick creative prompt to get our juices flowing and help us land in this space together. Next, we go round robin and each share something we’re working on or thinking about (it’s ok to pass if you are there only to provide support). Each person who shares specifies whether they want ideas and feedback, or simply (and profoundly) for the group to listen and provide moral support.

    Hour 2: Quiet co-working to get shit done. We end with a 5-minute “moment of joy”: often an optional dance party, with the invitation to mute us and do something else that brings you joy if you prefer (like stepping outside, lying down, or making a cup of tea).

    On the last Wednesday of the month I invite a guest speaker to join us in place of our co-working hour.

  • Members of the Mighty Forces community receive a 10% discount on strategic storytelling support and story coaching with Amanda and access to the most flexible payment plans.

    Members also receive access to discounted products and services from other community members and friends of Mighty Forces (examples: coaching to connect with your intuition + online “Movement is Medicine” classes).

  • We have an optional group text — a space to quickly get support or share inspiration.

What it costs

The requested investment is $200/month.

Please note: I’m committed to making Mighty Forces accessible for those who feel called to join and sustainable for me. If your circumstances make this financial investment difficult or impossible, please let me know and we’ll explore alternatives.

Why this community, and why now?

A note from Amanda

👋 Hi there! Mighty Forces attracts incredible people doing incredible work. I get so much energy from knowing the creative, wise, compassionate humans connected to this company, and I want you to benefit, too — and I believe those benefits will show up in your work and benefit those you serve.

Community is the key to not only surviving, but also thriving. We need each other. Not just for practical reasons, like to provide food when the government shuts down SNAP benefits, but for matters of the spirit: No one person can single-handedly summon the strength or optimism needed to navigate these times without crumpling. Nor should we have to. 

“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.” - Arundhati Roy

We are fundamentally interconnected. It is only together that we can usher in the new world that wants to be born.

Let’s do this.

You are a mighty force - and together, we are even mighter.

Our community values…

  • We say “no thank you” to the (patriarchal, white supremacist, late-stage capitalist) status quo. We believe a better way of living is possible and we’re called to be part of bringing that better way' to life.

  • We care deeply about the world and about other people. We believe we’re stronger together. And we’re natural connectors of people and/or ideas.

  • We aren’t into pretense or bullshit. We are who we are — personal, professional, or otherwise. We swim in the deep end. We value candor and a space where we can let our hair down. We treasure real relationships where it’s safe to bring all of ourselves to bear.

  • We are creators — whether artists or strategists, or “simply” committed to the creative act of living a life of intention. We highly value opportunities to inject creativity into our workdays and our lives. Reminders of our creativity boost our joy & power.

  • Yes, the work we do is serious, and, life is too short not to look for every opportunity to laugh. 

Our Agreements

What happens in this community stays in this community, unless we get express permission to share something elsewhere. We are curious, not judgmental; we ask questions rather than jumping to conclusions.We are here to witness and support each other, not fix each other; only when asked for solutions do we offer them. We give each other grace and trust that everyone here is a good person doing their best to communicate mindfully; if anything ever makes us uncomfortable, we agree to work with Amanda to find a constructive way to share that feedback and strengthen the relevant relationship(s) rather than shutting down or giving up. We share funny shit we find on the internet. We share beautiful pictures and poetry and other treasures to nourish each other’s spirits. We give ourselves grace. We eat chocolate (preferably dark).
