An online metaphysical fair

Spirit Collective is like a spiritual fair where people can come for the entertainment, dance to the music, meet people, mingle, and commune — or they can setup a booth, become a vendor and sell their creations such as jewelry, clothing, art, psychic readings, teachings, or massage. It's where friends and family can connect from all over the world, where voices can be heard, where visions can be seen, and where the spiritual community can support one another — mentally, emotionally, financially, and spiritually.

Our goal is to help humanity by providing tools that help people in practical ways — to help us connect deeper, expand in consciousness, reach further, and grow stronger. By bringing together many functionalities into one holistic space, we hope to help unify people as well and remind everyone that we are One.

Why Spirit Collective Exists

We Are One

Spirit Collective was built as an online spiritual hub for conscious beings to inspire and collaborate, share in wisdom, make a sustainable income doing what you love, share your message globally—ultimately catalyzing a resonance and evolution of the whole. With intention to unify and shift from an unbalanced system, Spirit Collective will be a safe container to express and grow together. This is an ever-expanding space where we can dream big, manifest change, support each other, collaborate, and share in abundance.

While Spirit Collective welcomes anyone—from small businesses to large organizations—the mission is to ensure that those who need it most—the artists, the small business entrepreneurs, the students, and all kindred spirits—have a platform where they can connect, grow, and thrive. It's about leveling the playing field, nourishing a community where everyone has a chance to succeed, and creating a space where helping each other helps us all.

How It All Began

For years, the vision existed: a place where people could gather consciously without greed, trolls, or algorithms running the show—a platform with the genuine intention of inspiring real change. The missing piece was finding the right combination of creative vision and technical expertise to make it real.

In 2024, that vision finally became possible. From the first mockups to the foundational code, Spirit Collective was built with the belief that technology can bring people together, solve problems, and inspire creativity and collaboration in ways we've not seen before. Every feature, every design choice, was made with community and consciousness at the center.

A Platform for All of Us

Spirit Collective exists because of a fundamental belief in the power of connection and collaboration. This is a platform designed to help people help each other—rooted in the understanding that what helps everyone, helps us too. Because there is no "we," only one.

Built Different: Privacy, Transparency, & Community

Secure Payments

All transactions are processed through industry-leading payment providers (Stripe and PayPal). We never store your payment information, and vendors receive 95% of every sale directly to their account—more than almost any other platform out there.

Privacy First

We don't harvest your data, track you across the web, or sell your information to advertisers. Period. Your conversations, connections, and content belong to you. Read our Privacy Policy for complete transparency.

Business Model

We're funded by premium memberships ($19.99/month) and a small 5% commission on marketplace sales. No ads, no data mining—just a sustainable model that aligns our success with yours.

Clear Policies

We believe in transparency. Review our Terms of Service, Refund Policy, and Community Guidelines to understand how the platform operates.

Questions about security or privacy? We're here to help.

More Information about Spirit Collective

What stage is Spirit Collective in?

Spirit Collective is currently in open beta! Anyone can register and start using the platform today. While we're still actively developing and improving features, all core functionality is available.

During this beta period, you may occasionally encounter bugs or see new features being added – we appreciate your patience and feedback as we continue to make Spirit Collective even better.

You can help us improve by reporting any issues to team@thespiritcollective.net or through the contact form.

Is the platform free?

Yes! Almost all social media features are completely free to use, including creating a profile, creating and sharing posts, messaging (and audio/video calling in the future), adding friends, joining groups, and more. There will even be many free courses created by the community that anyone can enroll in.

The only parts that are not free are mostly for vendor capabilities (which we have intentionally made more affordable than other marketplace apps), and they come with a paid premium membership. See the next question for the specifics.

What is the difference between the free basic membership and the paid premium membership?

Free, Basic Member features include:

Personal profile
Post images, videos, polls, and more
Comment
Add friends
Instant messaging
Make purchases
Enroll in courses

Premium Member features include:

Upload and share files
Sell products, subscriptions, services, & more
Create free or paid courses
Create & manage groups/communities
"Verified" badge on your profile
Chance to be featured on the homepage and in other places
More to come!

What does the paid membership cost?

The premium membership base price is $19.99 per month. In addition, we offer periodic discounts. Any premium member can offer discounted premium memberships AND get affiliate commissions for bringing in new premium members (up to 40% of the membership cost) for anyone who uses their code (see the next question).

Those who sell products, services, or courses will also pay a small commission of about 5% on their sales. This percentage may be adjusted depending on our total costs post launch. This will be the primary source of revenue for Spirit Collective that will pay for the cost of hosting, further development, and jobs.

How does the Community Partners program work?

Get paid to share Spirit Collective!

Our Community Partners program is now live! This is a way for premium members to earn recurring income by inviting others to join Spirit Collective as premium members.

Every premium member automatically has access to the Community Partners area in their Vendor Dashboard, where they can set up their payment method (PayPal or Stripe) and get their unique referral tools. Partners can share either a personalized referral link or a coupon code that gives new members 50% off their first month (dropping the price to $9.99 for month one).

Partners earn commission on every premium membership they refer, with rates that increase as they grow:

Starter (0-4 referrals): 20% commission
Bronze Partner (5-9 referrals): 25% commission
Silver Partner (10-14 referrals): 30% commission
Gold Partner (15-19 referrals): 35% commission
Platinum Partner (20+ referrals): 40% commission

Here's what you could earn monthly at different levels:

1 referral earns $4.00 per month
10 referrals earns $59.97 per month (30% rate)
100 referrals earns $799.60 per month (40% rate)
1,000 referrals earns $7,996 per month (40% rate)

There's no limit to how many referrals you can have, creating truly passive, recurring income. As long as your referrals maintain their premium membership, you continue earning monthly commissions. Payouts are automated weekly through PayPal or Stripe after a 7-day fraud prevention hold.

The best part? You're not just earning income – you're helping build a conscious community of spiritual entrepreneurs, healers, and creators who support each other's growth and success.

Will there be a mobile app I can download?

Yes! While Spirit Collective already works beautifully in your mobile browser, we're developing dedicated native apps for iOS and Android to take your experience to the next level.

Our native apps will include powerful features like:

Push notifications for messages, activity updates, and order alerts
Offline access to browse content and draft posts
Lightning-fast performance with instant loading
Enhanced camera features for creating stories and content
One-tap login with biometric authentication
Native device integration for seamless sharing

We've already mapped out the technical roadmap and are ready to build. The timeline depends on funding – with successful support from our fundraiser, we can launch the apps within months rather than waiting for revenue to accumulate.
