the entry portal

Welcome to our magical entry portal to our garden!

Before you dive in, I want to share some suggestions and guidance on how to go through the components of the entry portal once you enter. Like mentioned, after you pay the $99 you’ll get access to two different Letter of Interest forms – a General form and an Inner Circle form; and you’ll also get access to an extra two of my storytelling medicine bundles.

If you’re looking for some guidance on how to go through everything, here is my recommendation:

Step One – make sure that you have already gone through the free introduction my village artist grant system. If you haven’t, I’ll include the link below, as this Entry Portal is the next step after you finish the introduction.

Step Two – once you do that, click the Entry Portal link, pay the $99 and it’ll take you into the portal.

Step Three – sit with the first Letter of Interest form, the General form. Take this as your time to process, integrate and share after going through the journey in the introduction. That introduction was really deep. After a big learning/listening journey, it’s always great to have a space where you can take what’s emerging out of you and put it down somewhere. Do something with your hands; bring something out of your body and put it down.

The form gives you a space to reflect on, where am I in relation to this system, this vision? What does it inspire in me? How does it help me think about the integrity of my healing journey, the season of life I’m in, how I really want to spend my time right now, and how village funding could work for me. You can fill out the form and press send at this point, or you can journal your answers and go through the whole thing before you press send.

Step Four – tell someone. This is an optional but recommended suggestion to tell someone other than me what you’re thinking about and learning here. Tell a friend, send a message to a text chain, write a blog piece, send something to an email list, post on social media. This is especially if you’re finding more is coming up for you than there is room to share in the letter of interest form. You can also take this to your altar, take this to a body of water, sit by a tree and breathe. Remember that talking to the land, or non human relatives, with non human language is a very valid way of “telling someone.”

Step Five – take a break from the portal, rest, digest, eat, live.

You can just leave it there, if that’s all you want to engage with for now, and/or when you’re ready you can come back for part two of the journey. If you’re doing part two:

Step Six – sit with one or both of the Storytelling journeys in the Entry Portal.

Both journeys are part of magical reality tv for the revolution, they are little spin-offs from my Live Multiverse Memoir.

In the first bundle, “Break-Ups that Define You” I go on an adventure with my future partner who I haven’t met yet. We travel to the past timeline where we almost met, we almost started a relationship, but then decided to be with other people. For both of us, those would become relationships that didn’t last, that ended badly in many cases, but that brought forward the relationship wounds we really needed to heal. In that sense they became break-ups that defined us.

This story journey is essentially about my need to repair with my wounds of relationship past, even the wounds that haven’t yet been resolved. It’s about helping my heart re-orient differently to trauma and injustice, and make myself more available for the incredible gifts ahead of me on my path.

The second bundle, “end of life, after life, all of life” offers really deep grief support. I share some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned from caring for a loved on in their end of life phase, and these lessons I believe extend toward some of the most important things we can learn right now in order to be the best stewards of our current time.

Here, I also take you through my animal communication practise – we do a sound healing with a council of elephants, and I tell you a story about a mysterious golden retriever who turns out to be one of my biggest buddies in spirit.

If you look below, you’ll see a full chapter list for both of these storytelling bundles.

Step Seven – fill out the Inner Circle Form. Here you’ll be prompted to share with me a little bit about what these stories brought up for you.

Here, you can also feel free to do the “tell someone” step if you want. Just be mindful that these bundles are behind a paywall. Don’t share large chunks of the content publicly, but I don’t mind if you share one or two small quotes, or tell people generally about what spoke to you. Think about it like, when there’s a story you love and you don’t want to share spoilers, but you want to invite people into the world and encourage them to invest in it.

Step Eight: Look out for a message from me, you will get a link to the next investor appreciation event on November 30 2025, if you’re listening in real time, and that info will be available closer to the date. During the promo period for the event, aka the money moving workshop, you can feel free to amplify, invite friends, support the campaign, however much you feel inspired to. If you want to send another monetary amount to the campaign from your field of generosity, you absolutely can, but you most welcome to just show up to the event.

Lastly, STEP NINE, our magic number: If your letter is chosen to receive a gift or grant from my pot of village funding, I’ll contact you directly.

By the way, these steps are just a suggestion. Please follow your own process and what feels best for you. You may want to listen to all the stories before you fill out anything. You can also send me the General form first, and send your second form later, if you want more time to go through the stories.

Just keep in mind there will be a cut off date before our investors appreciation event on November 30. If you want to be considered for a grant from that pot, you’ll have to send in your forms before that date, likely, some time in mid November. I’ll let you know.

I mentioned earlier, the criteria of who I choose to give a gift or a grant boils down to two main factors – alignment and resonance is the big one. And after that it’s timing – first come, first served.

On the topic of alignment and resonance, I want to say a few things – that is, the folks who are more likely to receive from me, it’s not about who is more or less deserving of support, but rather who is really strongly weaving with this vision already.

Especially because I’m at the beginning stages of sharing this project, my focus is to bring folks around me that will really help me protect and grow this garden. As it grows, the people who will receive will expand.

When we apply to things, we are trained to convince people why we should be picked; that’s not what I’m looking for.

I don’t want people engaging with this from a place of please pick me, I need this, please give me a grant because you feel sorry for me.

There’s no judgement for that kind of thing, see above re my history of anxious attachment – I still find myself in that energy sometimes. But that isn’t what this movement is about, and it doesn’t feel good for my heart or my spirit when people engage with me in that way.

I want you to rather really see and feel how I’ve shared this vision with you in the first place. What I share comes from a place of deep self worth, self respect, and a sincere generosity and commitment toward who and what I love. That’s the kind of energy I want to be in deeper relationship with.

I’m not fighting to be recognized, I’m not fighting to be heard. You don’t have to do that with me.

What I’m looking for is collaboration from a place of resonance and joy. Like YES, Shaunga I see what you’re creating – this is what I’m creating. I see what you’re working through, this is what I’m working through. I see what’s important to you, this is what’s important to me.

When I look for who I want to give to, I want to see who is here to help this vision grow, who is going to help it succeed, who is going to be a good earth steward beside me.

Let’s go back to one of our village principles in that, as a community garden, I can only continue to give generously if a community helps me care for this space.

On the General Letter of Interest form, there’s a question where I ask – what kinds of ideas do you have for how you may contribute or give back to the garden as it grows (resources, skills, services, hands on support, advocacy, amplification, monetary)

This is a place for you to share what you imagine what could be possible, like I have in the introduction, though none of this has to be set in stone.

Think about what you’re genuinely inspired to contribute, not from a place of like, oh shit it’s someone’s birthday, let me rummage through the junk drawer and find something to give – because sometimes this is how we approach barter and exchange.

When you tend to a garden, you need to understand the land, and give something that genuinely supports its specific medicine, and try not to plant things that will harm the ecosystem.

When I talk to the land, including when I want to use herbs and plants in cooking or rituals, I ask them – hey I’d like to offer you to this, do you want it? Then you listen and they say yes or no.

It’s the same with me – from what you have seen of me and this system – what do you feel inspired to offer?

Give some thought to it, but also don’t worry too much about it. If you have something to share, share it, I’ll say yes or no.

In that spirit, I do want to name a few things that would very much help me out:

1 – Advocacy and Amplification of my work, including engaging with the ideas, adding your voice, telling your people. A few years ago one of my mentors said to me, Shaunga, you’re The Voice. You’re not supposed to be running through the village screaming: “please come to my show!” You need a team for that. Your job is to sit and be the voice, you need a village to spread the word by way of publicity and promo. This is one of the beautiful things of sitting in circle and being seen by others. My mentor could see me clearly, and the medicine I hold. This is where the lines are. This is where I need support from my village to hold my medicine and share it. If you can help with this, please let me know – whether you have the skills and expertise of a publicity agent, or if you have an audience that you can share with. Simple, heartfelt amplification through your network, directing people back to my platform goes a long way.

2 – I am always investing in my personal, spiritual, creative, business development, and always looking for folks that I want to work with in terms of booking services, special offers, or finding my dream opportunities. I especially want to build my practise more as a director, an actor, a voice actor, a writer, I want to take voice lessons as I prepare to take my one person show on tour – I’d love to learn from heavy hitter directors, writers, producers, actors, movers and singers. I’m looking at folks who have made their way, found success, have a lot of skills and expertise to share. Especially those who are like – Shaunga, what you’re doing here by calling us back into these village principles is everything, from having to navigate hollywood or toxic arts industries, so we have skills to share here.

I will say that at age 41, throughout my career there are many times I put pursuing my talent and developing my craft on the backburner so that I could focus on healing and community work…even though nothing brings me more joy to be on a really amazing film set or musical theatre project. If I had focused on pursuing my talent, I could have been one of the most well known writers in hollywood right now, working in the biggest writers rooms, I could have landed major voice actor roles in disney or pixar.

Can you see me as the voice of an evil cartoon villain?

But for what? All that success would just end up back here anyway, with everyone boycotting disney during multiple genocides. Because of what I did invest in, deep, deep healing, I now have this to offer, sorely needed by our current times. But I do want to come back now to what my original joy was, I want to develop the skills that I wanted to pursue in the first place, and exchange with people who are like yeah, we have what each other needs.

Along with creative development, I’m always looking for spiritual development and spiritual support. Medicine makers of all kinds, designers, healers, tell me about your businesses, tell me about your services, tell me about your research, tell me about your healing practitioner work, tell me about what you’re growing. I’m obviously not going to personally sign up for everything, but just sharing with me what you’re up to will help me think about ways we can organize all that information, so more people can find each other easily.

3 – I’ll be looking for trusted advisement on all areas of my business, including financial and legal advisement, logistical and organizational support, social media organizing, and ongoing spiritual council. All of that will get more important as this movement grows. I’m looking for support especially from folks who have more lived experience and expertise in places I’m looking to build and grow. For example, I am entering an era where my business is going to grow to a level I haven’t experienced before. I will need strong mentorship along the way. I need people who are going to be my circle of “Big Dogs.” People who really have my back, and can offer me trusted council. Diviners, Spiritualists, people who are like, yeah I see you Shaunga, let me help you stay centered, grounded and protected.

So, whatever your services are, please take the form to share a little bit with me about what you do and feel free to share links to your platforms as well.

4 – Monetary: there will be many people who will feel like, I may or may not have tangible skills to offer this garden, but I really want to be here, I want to learn here, I want to grow here, I want to receive here, and I’d be willing and happy to send monetary offerings, whether that’s smaller offerings on a regular basis or one-off bigger investments. If that is the extent to how you want to support this work, that is absolutely welcome.

5 – wild card: what do you got that I couldn’t possibly imagine, that you just know I’m gonna love? I wanna hear about that too.

So yeah, those are some small things to keep in mind as you fill out these forms and go through the portal. Remember, you don’t have to offer me the moon, just share what’s on your heart.
