Join the Mighty Forces
Community
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
2025 was batshit crazy. Let’s go through 2026 in a different way: together.
I’m bringing together people who give a damn so that we can experience radical joy, creativity, and generosity, despite fascism.
Why this community, and why now?
A note from Amanda
2025 brought the importance of true community roaring into my awareness. Mutual aid was how we'd survive; present tense, it is how we survive; future tense, it is how we will survive. And it is how we thrive. 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.
We are fundamentally interconnected.
How can we lean into that, for our collective benefit?
How can we pick a different, more nourishing way of moving through this life?
You are a mighty force - and together, we are even mighter.
Our community values…
-
We care deeply about the world and about other people. We believe we’re stronger together. And by the way, we’re all 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. Belly laughs are gold.
-
Related to our creativity, but worth calling out on its own: We don’t just accept the status quo and roll along with it. We think about how to make things better, and we take action.
What’s included
We’re all craving in-person connection, which is why members of this community will receive an invitation to an in-person retreat in 2026 — details to come. In the meantime, I’ve designed a way of being in community online, across geographic distance, that is intentional and embodied.
Our community hub is a website hosted by Mighty Networks (I mean, how is Mighty Forces not gonna choose Mighty Networks to host its online community?!). On the one hand, none of us needs another digital destination to bookmark if all that comes with it is a vague sense of "I'm supposed to be checking in/ posting updates/ doing something." On the other hand, we’re all sick of public social media, we need a place to connect, and I’ve designed this private community site with a lot of love and care.

A sacred monthly gathering that represents the beating heart of this community. Each month we'll queue up a juicy question (related to our collective purpose of cultivating radical joy, creativity, and generosity) and gather to connect and explore.
Led by somatic coach and former wilderness guide Jay Moon Fields, these gatherings — inspired by the age-old council model of gathering and connecting — will be a sacred space to connect and go deep.

Three optional weekly touchpoints support you in moving through your week with intention:
Magic Mondays (12-12:30p ET) - Tune into and share your intentions for the week ahead.
The Wednesday Workshop (12-2p ET) -
Hour 1: Bring a question, idea-in-progress, or stuck point, and harness the group’s wisdom and expertise.
Hour 2: Quiet co-working to get shit done.
Twice a month, we focus the Wednesday Workshop as a container for talking about our response to fascism, and taking action. The other two weeks, you can bring anything and everything to this space, from work challenges to job search woes, to creative ideas that are brewing, to random questions about meal planning or what technology people use… anything.Friday Fusion Lab (Fridays 12-1p ET): Process your week and get clear on what emotions, energies, and ideas you want to carry forward, and what you want to leave behind, so you can feel complete and at peace as you head into your weekend.
Each touchpoint is optional, and your participation can ebb week to week and month to month.
Also, there is a discussion thread tied to each touchpoint, so if you can’t join us live but still want to let these touchpoints help give shape to your week, we’ve got you covered.
-
In addition to the structured gatherings listed above (all optional - your participation can vary week to week and month to month), drop in anytime for online conversation — to ask a question, share an idea, make an offer, or just to share the funny meme you just came across.
-
Members give and receive discounts on products and services.

*I am designing an in-person retreat for us, details TBD, as a chance to experience the unique nourishment of in-person connection. Working with several experts on gathering I am imagining ways to include analog, physical elements in our community experience even when we’re connecting online, in ways that flow with intention into and out of our time together in-person.
When you click the “Sign Up Now” button, it will open a link to the Mighty Forces Community website in a new window.
Connect with amazing people, without any BS
If you listen to the Mighty Forces podcast or follow me on LinkedIn, you know I’m connected with amazing people — people with big hearts and big ideas; people who have profound insights to share alongside a great sense of humor. People you’re gonna love. And you know that I bring people together in ways that are real. No pretense, no posturing. A place to relax into the real.
Our Community Building Blocks
Create together
You’re someone who creates — you write, you design experiences and solutions, you cook, you podcast, you garden. Above all else, you create your life with great intention. And you know that feeding your creative spark helps you be the best version of you. Our gatherings and conversations will fuel your creative energy and help you turn sparks and musings into ideas you’re ready to share with the wider world.
Make a difference
You care about making other people’s lives better. And you know that helping others is a sure way to boost your own wellbeing. Well, here’s a chance to support a group of other people who give a damn, whether it’s by sharing feedback on a draft, agreeing to be a thought partner, making a warm introduction, or….
Plus, inspired by the collective giving model, we’ll explore ways that being in community can help us have greater collective impact, if not financially then through the things we create and amplify together.
