In 2027, Be Free will shift to become The Be Free CommUNITY Center — a registered, non-profit church. We are boldly reimagining the energy of "church": embodied, dogma-free, and radically inclusive. Our vision is to continue to grow a commUnity where all people have access to belonging, healing, growth, and can truly be free.

We are raising the downpayment to purchase a local church building to house a larger main studio, a basement studio, a kitchen, wellness practitioner rooms, and an open community space. Our future mortgage? Several thousand less a month than we are currently paying in rent!

If you're new to following this journey, here's a quick overview of our path so far:

May '26 — We went ALL IN! We founded our Board of Directors and went under contract to buy the church building on Whitcomb, giving us until the middle of August to raise $200K. We chose this route because a community member was willing to offer us "gap funding" and cover whatever we didn't raise. Unfortunately, that person then had an unexpected major life shift that greatly affected their finances, and that offer fell through.

Between the end of May and the middle of August, we raised $50K — which is incredible!

Aug '26 — We had to release the original contract, as we didn't yet have the down payment for the loan. We asked the church if they'd be willing to rent us the building while we continued fundraising for the down payment.

Sept '26 — After a month of waiting, the sellers let us know they're not interested in renting.

And so...

Our current lease ends in July '27, so we've made the decision to stay put and keep fundraising to buy the church building before our lease is up! We are planning to shift operations into the non-profit after the new year, which will be our first big shift!

Although we're on a slower timeline, it ultimately gives us more spaciousness to take every next step with integrity, organization, and intention.

This continues to be an exciting time! Our promise is to keep communicating and sharing openly throughout the journey — more soon!!
