The Sound Society Fund

Tune U Scholarships

Welcome!

Thank you for considering this. The fact that you're here on this page says something about how you relate to this work and who you want to be in proximity to it.

What this is

Some people carry a clear ache toward this Tune U work and can't yet make room for it financially. The Sound Society Fund exists so that fewer of them have to wait.

Your contribution would help provide access to Tune U, a tuning practice through improvisational sound that helps people meet real moments with more steadiness, honesty, and care.

In this first phase, the fund supports people by invitation only, and offers partial scholarships in the 25 to 50 percent range. Not full rides. Participants still invest in their own practice by design.

Why this matters

You already know something about what this practice can do. You've felt it, or you've watched someone else feel it.

People who stay with the work have described navigating stressful moments more gracefully, saying the harder thing with more honesty and less defense, meeting their families and colleagues with more compassion and "musicality."

Some have said the practice opened them to parts of themselves they didn't know were there. None of that is guaranteed. It unfolds through participation. But it happens often enough, and quietly enough, that it's worth protecting access to.

No one should ever live in exile from their nature.  After fully inhabiting this practice, they won't.

What your contribution makes possible

  • $200 would help someone access the Core group container for three months  *

  • $330 would help someone access the Journey group container for six months 

  • $600 would help someone access the Quest group container for a full year

  • $1,000 would help someone access private 1:1 work for four months

Living out of tune can be so painful. Your contribution gives someone else a more accessible way in. A chance to practice improvising with sound, tune their own alignment, and play their way home, without needing to defer it because of cost.

A few things to know

Contributions are not tax-deductible. This is a direct, relational fund. We will steward it personally, and we extend scholarships to people whose readiness and circumstances we've come to understand through direct conversation and careful consideration.

Donors are not publicly named unless they ask to be. The people who receive scholarships are not named either.

If you have questions first, or want to talk about what your giving could support, reply to this page or reach out directly.

This is a small fund in its first season. Every contribution lands somewhere specific.

Thank you for your support.
