Imaginisma is a collective of creatives and luminaries enacting their care upon the world
We offer an incubator for those who feel both disheartened and motivated by the state of the world and who long to activate meaningful change.
It is for those who are birthing ideas, who are fueled by a desire to contribute, and who are courageous and willing to dance with the messy process of generating. This is not your typical incubator. But if you, like us, feel the heat of desire to enact your holy work, welcome.
Part makerspace, part mastermind, part group therapy, part start-up generator.
What is your holy work in this time between worlds?
What have you come here to offer? What stunning gifts will you leave unfinished for future generations to continue?
Originating in the 1950s, business incubators have long propelled companies to success. Many iterations of the incubator have emerged since. But like any form it was a product of its time, arising to answer the dominant concerns of the mid-century: about growth, scale, and efficiency.
Now, we’re in a time between worlds—between the analog and the digital, between the natural and the artificial, between the Holocene and the Anthropocene. We need a new kind of incubator for bringing the sacred back.
What is most sacred to you? What does this time between worlds desire? How are you called to participate? How will you enact your care upon the world?
Why join the incubator?
There are a million ways to avoid the work.
The Imaginisma Incubator is a provocative idea. It’s founded on the belief that real progress—especially in creative and entrepreneurial endeavors—happens by daring to experiment.
Our methodology is simple: Take the first step and then the next. When you preference taking action, you surrender your creative will to the process of iteration. You will learn and your vision will grow and you will end up far from where you started.
About the incubator
How often have you stopped because of hitting the elusive wall of overwhelm?
How often have you been blinded by not knowing what you don’t know?
How often have you diverted your attention away from the new and back to the known?
How often have you believed in magic bullets, disregarding the role of time and the art of attending and attuning to learning?
Let us help you embark on the quest of a lifetime. Let us help you do something different.
Doing something different is holy work. It is a commitment. And it is always done together. Our fates are entwined.
We invite you to do holy work with us. Together.
What we bring is a unique set of skills (honed over decades), perspectives, and experiences.
We are resource, mentor, friend.
We are technicians.
We are creatives.
We are planners.
We are master marketers, story tellers, business technicians, and strategists who breathe at the banks of the flowing rivers we call Holy.
We help you actualize your desire in the world.

Our Etiquette
While Imaginisma is committed to consciously attuning to our disorientation and personal poetry leveraging it as our platform for change making in this time between worlds, we also ascribe to a variety of textures to ground our experience in the body and in relationship to place. Our etiquette is the core foundation for building and being and is both forefronted and a backdrop for process, inquiry, action, dialogue and iteration.
How it Works
We ask you to believe before you understand;
that devotion and desire create fuel, that slow and steady have an infinite reach, that individual contribution is also collective and universal, that history makes us as we make it.
Step One
Apply
It begins with your inspiration and your desire. When you apply, you’ll tell us what you’re up to, what you want to make real, and what is holding you back. We’ll schedule a time to meet on Zoom, introduce you to the team, and determine if the incubator is a fit.
Step Two
Ignite
When you join, we will deep dive into your passion and your desire in order to learn everything we can about your holy work. Together, we’ll map out a clear path forward, drawing on our collective expertise to chart a course that honors your unique vision and potential.
Step Three
Incubate
Our twice-weekly gatherings are where magic unfolds. In these sessions, we are your mentors and conspirators as you attend to your holy work and return time and again to the graceful art of iteration. Consider this your sacred container for taking action on your endeavor.
It is messy, deeply satisfying, disorienting, and nourishing.
