Brainstorming for Healing Arts Equal Access Grant

http://healingartsgrant.jacobcole.net/

A grant to help people gain equal access to important, life-changing healing arts which are sometimes expensive, and often not covered by insurance. Also to assist in care navigation by curating resources and via live help, and to help people with disabilities get assistance.

Examples of such:
-PRP injections for RSI (repetitive strain injury) and arthritis
-Svaroopa.org Yoga Foundations retreat for chronic SI Joint or low back pain
-Seeing an acupuncturist for a condition well treated by TCM, e.g. ovarian cysts
-Therapeutic massage, rolfing, directional non-force chiropractic
-Psychotherapy: EMDR, TRE, Somatic Therapy, IFS, breathwork, etc. Or nvc training.
-Buying Yoga Props or Healing Devices (e.g. cupping therapy cups)
-Going to yoga or pilates class when you're broke

Future ideas:
Float tank access grant, "help me organize my life" volunteer or paid consultant request, mediation request, coaching request, lifestyle change consulting request, "Live with me for a week and absorb my life patterns", borrow a mom/grandma, help me get my tech life together volunteer team, helping gifted people with long term mental health breakdowns, helping spiritually gifted people with major psychological problems/addictions (retreat center underway), helping people recover from kundalini awakenings gone wrong or other inexplicable symptoms, MS, CFS, ADHD consulting, (legal) psychedelic-assisted therapy grant, integrative health guidance pro bono services (e.g. refer cancer patients to complementary therapies such as Zhineng Qigong retreats in person or online, some free, to help with side effects of chemotherapy), existential crisis and life guidance support group.

Future Goal 2: Get as many people as possible to have an experience touching the profound state of consciousness that leads to a self sustaining cascade of wisdom and joy. For me some of the easiest onramps have been craniosacral therapy, osteopathic manipulation, qigong (embrace the tree, box holding, and more), Iyengar yoga, deep tissue massage. I'd like to make these onramps more accessible, promoted, and make easy grants for them. Comment with some of yours?

Meta comment: I believe grants like this can address huge inefficiencies (from people operating in pain or at subpar wellbeing) and in some cases could even become micro loans.
