Every engagement follows the same redistribution structure: fees from well-resourced organizations fund full accompaniment for those who cannot pay. This is not sliding scale as charity — it is structural redistribution built into how the model works.
Every engagement follows commons logic — a shared fund that redistributes resources so well-resourced organizations fund full accompaniment for those who cannot pay. This is not philanthropy — it is how the model works. The loop is self-reinforcing: solidarity-economy organizations transform, their stories travel, referrals grow, no cold outreach needed.
We are a post-growth organization — designed to reach sustainable scale and stay there — by design. We defined enough before we started — growth is a tool, not a goal. When surplus exists, it becomes access and practitioner vitality — not retained earnings or expansion plans.
The tier structure is not sliding scale as charity — it is structural redistribution. Well-resourced clients are not doing Limicelia a favor by paying full rate. They are participating in a commons logic that generates the field's capacity for equitable access.
Post-growth is a design choice to define "enough" before starting, not after success. These six principles are operational, not aspirational — written into governance structures before revenue began.
1. Define enough first. Growth is a tool. When targets are met, surplus becomes access — not expansion.
2. Circular revenue. Clients become case studies. Money moves in circles, not one direction. Success creates access rather than scale.
3. Commons infrastructure. Frameworks and tools return to the soil — open-source for the field, not held as proprietary.
4. No exit. Ownership is stewardship. No payout event. No acquisition target.
5. Measure thriving. Practitioner vitality, not hours worked. Client restoration after we leave. Commons pool growth.
6. Resilience over efficiency. People doing sustained hard relational work need buffers, not optimization. Slack is capacity. Rest is infrastructure.
We're transparent about tier placement and how your fees move through the commons. Start with a conversation.
