Come underground.

A membership for solopreneurs and magical thinkers building radical futures within the compost of capitalism.

The Mycelial Network is part community space, part seasonal study container, part resource-sharing network for people who care how they make money just as much as how much money they make.

It exists because anti-capitalist solopreneurship is full of contradictions that cannot be resolved through better branding, cleaner politics, or a more optimized morning routine. You are still making decisions inside capitalism. You still need money. You still have to choose, over and over again, what kind of economy your business participates in.

The Mycelial Network gives those questions a place to live.

Maybe you’ve looked at your business and thought, I could probably make more money if I were willing to become a worse person.

Maybe you’ve felt the shame spiral of wanting your work to succeed while the world is actively on fire.

Maybe your business has become your livelihood, which still feels miraculous, but you’re haunted by the sense that there has to be something more collective on the other side of simply selling things to survive.

Maybe you want to expand your village as a business owner, but the usual advice about “getting out there” has never accounted for your actual life. It treats connection as though it only requires willingness, when access is shaped by your body, your energy, your geography, your care responsibilities, your disability, your neurodivergence, your burnout, your risk tolerance, and your capacity to be perceived by strangers without turning yourself into a legible professional object on command.

The version of ‘network’ I am interested in is older, stranger, and less extractive than what contemporary business culture usually means by the word. A mycelial network grows through contact, memory, repetition, trust, shared conditions, and the movement of nourishment through a living system.

Network, here, means a web of people who know what you are building, where resources can move, ideas can cross-pollinate, and where the contradictions of anti-capitalist business can be metabolized in relationship instead of turning into overthinking or paralysis.

Anti-capitalist business is not a contradiction you solve once and move on from. It is a contradiction you practice inside of. Every offer, price, boundary, collaboration, refund policy, free resource, paid workshop, public statement, and private choice becomes part of the economy you are either reinforcing or trying to interrupt.

The Mycelial Network is where we stay with that practice together.

This is not business coaching.

TMN sits outside the usual categories of business coaching, ‘pay for proximity’ coaching cults, referral networks, and revenue-maximization programs.

Let’s be clear: money matters because we live under capitalism, and people need food, housing, medical care, rest, margin, options, and material support… but money is not the ultimate salvation. You cannot eat money.

The fantasy capitalism sells us is that safety comes from accumulation: if you can accumulate enough money, enough followers, enough clients, enough savings—enough individual proof that you can survive without needing anyone, essentially—then you are winning the game. You are playing by the rules and you will be rewarded for it, but again:

Accumulation alone is not safety.

What makes safety & survival more possible is connection, shared resources, actual interdependence, and the visible and invisible web of people, skills, care, money, knowledge, labor, and attention that keeps each person alive.

TMN exists to strengthen that web.

Inside The Mycelial Network, we work with things like:

• ethical selling without shame

• anti-capitalist business practice

• resource-sharing and mutual exchange

• systemic shame

• the internal cop

• purity paralysis

• hustle doctrine

• visibility shame

• seasonal rhythms

• astrology as a tool for experiencing uncertain times

• business as worldbuilding

• the actual, material and spiritual work of continuing

This is where we bring the questions that do not always fit cleanly into public-facing content, like:

• How do I keep selling when everything feels unstable?

• How do I price my work without collapsing into shame?

• How do I build mutual aid and reciprocity into my business without overextending myself?

• How do I let my work be visible without turning the sacred parts of my life into content?

• How do I make decisions that reflect my values without pretending I can become morally pure under capitalism?

• How do I keep going without simply falling in line with capitalism’s endless demands?

Why underground?

Because underground is where the mycelium lives.

It is where the web does its work before anything becomes visible above the surface. It is where nourishment happens, where connections strengthen, where decay becomes compost, where the conditions for growth are established.

Not everything needs to be performed in public.

Shame alchemy cannot happen under surveillance. Vulnerability needs insulation. Some conversations require privacy, slowness, context, shared values, and trust.

The internet has trained too many of us to confuse visibility with legitimacy. Underground means we protect the process. Something must be given in exchange. Gatekeeping is part of the design.

The Mycelial Network is hosted on Patreon, with Discord as the main community space for Fruiting Bodies and Mycelium members.

TMN has a seasonal structure, with a theme stretching over each three-month period. Each month contains a place to gather around a question, a practice, a workshop, a prompt, or a shared tension that’s cropping up.

Depending on your tier, membership includes:

• monthly prompts and seasonal reflections

• Patreon posts, field notes, and resource threads

• live workshops or classes

• office hours, coworking, or collaboration calls

• Discord discussion and resource-sharing
  asks/offers, skill swaps, and builder support

• discounts on public paid workshops

• protected spaces for shame alchemy and deeper exchange
