About

What is Brightsky?

BrightSky is a collective offering a community and platform for heart-centred practitioners, ethical entrepreneurs and community builders. We aim to support a global shift of consciousness to ensure future generations thrive within healthy planetary ecosystems. We are creating an environment where meaningful connections are nurtured through shared purpose.

Our core values include love, trust, respect, openness, generosity, care, and sustainability. 

We hold The Children's Fire at the heart of our values which considers the impact of any decision on the next seven generations to come. 

BrightSky is a bridge between community and ethical business, between alternative health and modern medicine and ultimately between dreams and reality.

We have pledged to dedicate 50% of all profit to be reinvested in local community projects. We initiate our own projects and support already existing projects aligned with our ethos, including tree planting and re-wilding.

The time for the lone wolf is over. Gather yourself! Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we have been waiting for.

Our Story

BrightSky grew from a desire to help health and wellbeing practitioners who are struggling to sustain businesses whilst staying true to their callings. We noticed isolation and duplicated efforts and we started to imagine how an online platform could help.

Our vision grew alongside the rapidly expanding team of Founding Partners and Investors in 2019, who shared the conviction that it is empowered and re-connected communities who can best bring the shifts that are needed. BrightSky in 2022 includes a community of practitioners, change makers and artists and locally-rooted projects.

At BrightSky we feel we are co-creating with Spirit and co-creating with the wider community. Your voice, your heart, your ideas and your reflections are always welcome!


Before I had even heard of BrightSky, I was looking for what I had called a "Network of Awesome."

Mission

Whilst our vision is global, our missions are local:

  • Connect across our custom-built online platform.
  • Engage, inspire and educate through our community program.
  • Nourish and physically connect in the BrightSky Hubs.
  • Create a Global Mycelium Networkof BrightSky Hubs
  • Environmental regeneration in alliance with our partners.
  • Collaborate on a local level through our Community Projects.
  • Reforest with our Treegeneration program.

My passion is to inspire myself and others to connect authentically. To hear and truly see each other: in our joy and in our struggles. And most of all to find the courage to be who we are and hear our own needs.

People

The BrightSky Team grew from a base in South Devon, with strong networks in Bristol, London, Manchester, Stroud and Frome. We are growing from heart to heart like a garden, organically and from the ground up, honouring the principles of Permaculture.

We connected our community online through the last difficult years and are now reaching out into the world to meet and share through hubs across the country.

Working in Partnership

At BrightSky we are creating a mycelium network of support with organisations and individuals coming together, in person, using the resources BrightSky makes available. We aim to have representatives on the ground in the 421 councils across Britain, with BrightSky Hubs supporting local initiatives all over the country. We will work in partnership with these local networks, supporting their growth and helping them to flourish. If you are working on a particular project that could use our support, please get in touch. If you have a project and would love to explore a Working in Partnership with us let us know. We would love to hear from you!
