Supporting Emotional Leaders Who Change the World
We fund men who lead, including coaches, therapists, teachers, counselors, and youth mentors, so they can deepen their emotional capacity, lead with vulnerability, and become stronger role models for the next generation.
About SHIFT Foundation
Founded by Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Mike Sagun, SHIFT Foundation was created through the generosity and shared vision of leaders who believe that healing men heals the world. The Foundation exists to make emotional leadership accessible to the men already shaping their communities. Through donor-funded scholarships, we send coaches, therapists, counselors, and youth mentors through SHIFT Men’s Retreat and other somatic programs designed to expand emotional capacity and deepen embodied leadership.
Your contribution helps these men return to their communities with stronger emotional awareness, vulnerability, and compassion, qualities that ripple out to the young men they mentor, the families they guide, and the spaces they hold. When you give to SHIFT Foundation, you’re not just supporting one man’s growth; you’re investing in the next generation of emotionally intelligent leaders.
Join THE PRACTICE with Mike Sagun
THE PRACTICE is a recurring online somatic men’s group for men who want to build a deeper relationship with their body, their emotions, and their nervous system.
All donations help support the wider ecosystem of this work, including SHIFT Foundation grants for male mentors, coaches, therapists, counselors, facilitators, and community leaders.
The intention is simple: to make deep, embodied men’s work more accessible to the men who are also holding and supporting others.
