Community building beyond the algorithm

A digital neighbourhood for enriched learning and communing journeys, beyond noise and attention metrics 🍄

The Portal is a digital learning neighbourhood 🍄 where you can hand craft engaging resources, workshops and group study programmes for your community as part of a wider ecosystem of people who believe in livable futures for us all.

Watch our founder Sally explain more in the video below.

And if you’d like to understand even more about The Portal - how it came to be, how it is being used now and what the big vision is for this platform and tool - then you can sign up to watch the recording of a workshop Sally hosted recently (while also seeing those multimedia blocks in action 😉).
what is the portal?

We’re for Creators who want to host live events, run private learning groups and build and nurture meaningful relationships with their community.

For people building businesses away from the clutches of big tech. Rather than having to rely on algorithms and ads, our platform provides you with the tools to create and host your offers and build your networks naturally.

what do you get?

With a monthly Creator subscription on The Portal:

  • Create unlimited Resources and Collections which includes unlimited hosting of video
  • One private community space to run as you please - whether you’re creating a membership, a 6 week course or a one off live event - get your own community space hosted on Circle in our wider Portal community space.
  • Create offers as subscriptions or one off payments and get paid via your Stripe account.  Charge and get paid in GBP, Euros, USD and CAD.
  • Offer tiered pricing models as an anti-capitalist practice.
  • Weekly support with us as you create via workshops, body doubling sessions and open office hours.

As this is still being bootstrapped and built by Sally, a Mum of 2 young kids along with everyone who believes in it, you won’t get: 

  • Full blown analytics.
  • Email marketing integration (any integrations to be honest).
  • Most automations you might know from big platforms.
  • Unlimited community spaces.
  • Pay what you can afford pricing.

Yet!

Because we’re building it with you and we’re just getting started.

"The Portal feels organically alive and is being built with all in mind and I love that it allows me to be creative in a way that feels very alive for me too."

Leanne hosts The Slowing Down Collective - a free community space to reclaim your time, skills and agency by developing new relationships with technology.
"In the world of grief we talk about loss, in Francis Weller’s words, what we expected but did not receive - we’ve lost our way, the sense of who we are and how we come together - The Portal is the medicine for this. It repairs all that we never knew we’d lost or needed. It cultivates care and community, it allows for us to put our work out in the world in a different way - in a way that’s cohesive, in a way that is for the benefit for all. The Portal allows a different way of being - it’s generative, it’s relational. It’s an ecosystem that seeks to undo all the harm that’s going on in the world. It’s home."
Nicola Duffell shares Life's Poetry - a 6 month community programme exploring life through the lens of grief.
"The Portal is a collective, first and foremost. A group of humans who all want the best for each other, for their communities and for humanity. When I connect and collaborate with my Portal Crewmates I feel like I’m contributing to the greater good and that is an incredibly empowering and wonderful place to be - not just as a Creator but as an Experiencer too."
Stevie - The Embodied Family Guide - will be sharing The Resonant Mother, a 9-Month Journey into Right Relationship.

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