Intro
BrightSky is a platform and a community founded by and for practitioners. Our member practitioners provide therapy, healing, bodywork, body movement, mentoring, facilitation, mindfulness, counselling and coaching services to people and groups.

Cooperation, collaboration and co-creation: when passionate people come together we bubble with life-force and creativity.

Our Vision
The BrightSky vision is of a thriving community of connected, passionate and purposeful practitioners offering their gifts in service to humanity and the world.
We see our community becoming the trusted go-to online resource for people seeking healing and wellbeing. And we see this community facilitating more widespread and deepening health for individuals, communities and planet.
By grounding our ethos in community, we celebrate collaboration and recognize that there is enough for all, helping to build a regenerative culture and an economy of interdependence.
We set out boldly as a bridge-maker, and envision facilitating respectful and mutually enriching learning between practitioners and modalities, including ancient wisdom traditions and modern medicine.
Our Story
We believe that healing, health and wellbeing are everyone’s birthright and we set out to facilitate these as widely as we can across our communities.
We share the conviction that these times call for a deeper sense of purpose in service to each other and to all of Life. We believe that it is well-organised, empowered and re-connected people, organisations and communities who can best bring the shifts that are needed.
Individually as practitioners we’ve spent isolated hours and days trouble-shooting the same issues, trying to manage admin and marketing whilst staying true to our calling. We saw how a trusted platform and community and mutual support could bring so much more value, expansion and joy to our working lives.
BrightSky grew from a base in South Devon, with strong networks in Bristol, Manchester and London. We are growing like a garden, organically and from the ground up, honouring the principles of Permaculture.
Together we look forward to the next stage!
When spirit, vision, expertise and pragmatism come together, the Children's Fire can flourish. This, for me, is BrightSky.
Values
BrightSky is for everyone. We exist to make well-being accessible to all.
We work from the heart. We foster a culture of care, joy and openness in everything we do. Most of all we aim to build trust.
We tend the 'Children's Fire' - ensuring our children will know a thriving world through every decision and action we take. All our members are invited to become Earth Protectors.
We honour wisdom traditions alongside contemporary schools. We aim to foster equitable engagement with indigenous traditions from a foundation of awareness, respect and consent.
We recognize that inequitable social power dynamics can present barriers to people accessing support. We are committed to helping dismantle these barriers where we find them.
I trust BrightSky to create and maintain a thriving community of practitioners who serve from the heart and together can act in service of a collaborative co-habitation of our planet.
Our Social Enterprise
BrightSky Community is our community interest company, set up to invest 50% of annual profit into member projects via our Social Projects Fund.
BrightSky Social Projects are community-generated enterprises aligned with our values. They will help our members dream big and generate more of the good stuff we all long for.
We will empower projects with the resources, expertise and practical and emotional support they need to take off and become self-sustaining, nourished by the richness of skills and experience within our community.
Founding Members will be able to apply for support for their project, and have a say in the kinds of Social Projects they would like to see funded.
People
BrightSky is co-owned by 108 share-holding practitioners and change-makers: our Founding Partners and Ambassadors. All have brought their passion, resources and expertise to birthing and launching the project.
777 of you will become our Founding Members: a solid foundation from which we will launch to the public at the Winter Solstice.
Our Ambassadors are established practitioners in their fields and we are so honoured to have them holding space for the heart of this community:
