Join Coralus with our new sliding scale and be the first to join a pod when we launch
Join a Coralus Pod
There's something magical that happens when we come together in small groups over time...
Relationships are forged.
Trust is built.
We witness each other's gifts.
Ideas have room to grow.
Resources are made abundant.
Small groups in Coralus are a reflection of our larger community. Like fractals, they are smaller facets of the ways our global community works in relationship together on the issues and topics we care about.
The next cycle of pods runs from September 2024 to February 2025.
Join now to catalyze a pod or to be among the first to sign up and hear when they launch for registration during the first week of August!
Count me in! I'd like to join a pod.
Listen to Coralus members reflect on the pod experience
WHY PODS?
Across Coralus, people have gathered together, most often in small groups at local events, at our annual gatherings. You often find the people you need when you need them. In breakout rooms, we marvel, "The person I needed was actually in my room!"
The magic of this high quality community of generous folks is real.
Every time we show up on calls or at events, we realize that there are people all around us who are keen to support us, to learn with us, to cheer us on. It makes the journey easier, lighter, more fun, and more impactful.
So what if we made it part of our design?
Organizing around our true nature
Jessica Keats,
Coralus Activator
I feel so connected to the community. We've been together for four years, mostly online, and it feels a lot different now.
Everybody's taking part in it, and and we're all offering something, and everyone's in receiving mode and curiosity mode and there's a sense of new beginnings.
WHAT IS A POD?
A pod is a small group of 5 or so community members convening monthly over a shared purpose, theme, or question.
Designed for Deepening Relationships
A commitment to monthly online or in-person meetings for 6 months (90 minutes each) with a rotation of roles and responsibilities.
Pods vote together on Coralus Ventures, surface stories, learning, create community cohesion and more.
WHO CAN JOIN A POD? HOW MANY CAN I JOIN?
Pods can be catalyzed or joined by any active Coralus member (with a current subscription).
Pods can serve as your group for accountability, belonging, learning, and support as you journey in your life and business. You can join more than one (there are so many interesting topics), just remember it's a six-month commitment so be aware of how much you can add to your calendar.
Since pod sizes are small we ask you to create a sacred container in your schedule with the intention to show up regularly and hold space accordingly for your selected group(s) among your other life commitments. If more than one topic speaks to you, remember you can always join or catalyze a new pod topic during the next cycle!
Creating a Sacred Container for the Journey
Follow Your Curiosity, Find the Others
HOW DO I CATALYZE A POD?
Have something that you’d like to practice with others? Looking for a space to explore a big idea? Want to get into deeper relationships with like-hearted people around a given topic?
Pod Catalysts are community members who get the ball rolling for a pod. Learn more about submitting a pod idea and acting as a pod catalyst below.

Core Principles of Emergent Strategy
There is always enough time for the right work. There is a conversation in the room that only these people at this moment can have. Find it.
Focus on critical connections more than critical mass - build the resilience by building the relationships.
As a global organization, Coralus resides on the traditional territories of many nations.
We acknowledge the Indigenous peoples who are traditional stewards of the land where our headquarters reside: the Wendat, the Anishinaabe Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and the Métis Nation.
Indigenous wisdom is the pathway home to a life-sustaining society. We work alongside our Indigenous siblings, elders past present + future, globally, to transform systems on behalf of a better world.

Coralus collectively practices different ways of doing things for a better now and a new inheritance. Members offer and access resources at their own pace, creating a self-regenerating, pay-it-forward pool of skills, connections, funds, and support then used to advance ventures and the collective doing world changing work.
Coralus has circulated nearly $19M to 190+ women- and non-binary-led ventures by distributing capital via collective decision-making. 45% of those founders are from chronically excluded racial and ethnic groups. The payback rate on its unsecured 0% interest loans is 95%. Founded in Canada in 2015, Coralus' current footprint includes the US, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.
