Soul Tender Community

 

A GATHERING OF SOULS

TO TEND + BE TENDED

If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
— African Proverb

A THRESHOLD MOMENT

Let’s get real for a moment. 

The world is in profound crisis. 

Somedays, it’s difficult not to collapse into fear and despair.  Perhaps others, we just want to get off the roller coaster ride of being human.

And if you’re a heart-on-legs like me, your energetic and emotional sensitivity might compel you to cocoon, hunker down, get small, and wait out the storms that just keep rolling in.  I personally have been brought to my knees so often lately it gets more and more difficult to get up again. 

The hard truth is that the world we have known is crumbling. 

Existing economic and political structures are tearing at the seams and exposing their darkest and most destructive nature.  War, tyranny and conflict promote the agenda of the elite at the expense of the entire world. 

Humanity’s errant experiment in living out of balance with the greater web of life ­­is contributing to the loss of species, habitats, and Earth’s natural resources (which we see as belonging to us in the old collapsing paradigm). 

We are facing profound soul loss and disconnection from the coherent heart of humanity, rooted in compassion, curiosity, care, and cooperation. 

We have been convinced we need to mask our faces and stay away from each other. 

Our children have hardly seen each other’s smiles in years. 

Our teens are hurting, some suicidal. 

We are facing unprecedented challenges in our personal lives—money struggles, shifting jobs, relationship dissolution, the soul weariness of hustling to get by in the old ways.

Our hearts are broken.  Our souls are tender. 

Take a deep breath with me, dear one.  The ache is deep but all is not lost. 

The beautiful truth is that the world that we need is birthing. 

It is.  It is birthing right out of that gorgeous cracked open, broken heart of yours. And mine. 

In this time of profound world crisis, we are called to act from our deepest compassionate wisdom, our fierce courage, and our commitment to contributing to life in ways only we can.

Even on days we feel utterly helpless, we come to trust that our very beingness, our willingness to be here now, means e v e r y t h i n g. 

Here’s something else I know down the marrow of my soul. 

We need each other now more than ever. 

Let me repeat: We need each other now more than ever.  We cannot do this alone. 

Born for This.

Look, as much as we want to, we are not getting off the ride of this chaotic transition any time soon.  There is no normal to which we can return. 

And we were born for this time. 

Born.

For.

It. 

Two things I know about birthing––

–– ONE birth is not without risk. Outcomes are not guaranteed.

–– TWO, it goes best when we are surrounded by a fierce, committed team of loving support. 


Heroes didn’t leap tall buildings or stop bullets with an outstretched hand; they didn’t wear boots and capes. They bled, and they bruised, and their superpowers were as simple as listening, or loving. Heroes were ordinary people who knew that even if their own lives were impossibly knotted, they could untangle someone else’s. And maybe that one act could lead someone to rescue you right back.”
— Jodi Picoult

 Yes, the new earth is birthing, but it will only arise from our intentional commitment and engagement.  We must do it together.  All hearts and souls ALL IN.

When faced with such uncertainty and so much beyond our control, we must look to what is in our domain to tend, nurture, and lend our unique spark to. 

This community I am about to invite you into will not end world hunger, war, tyranny, or suffering.  But it will contribute to that path in its own meaningful way. 

When I think about what I can do, I know we MUST come together–– 

We sensitives. 

We new world builders. 

We bridge makers. 

We deep soul folk.

We wild misfits that have never belonged to the old world. 

 

INTRODUCING THE SOUL TENDER COMMUNITY

Soul Tenders is a community space and a supportive container in which to tend your own soul and be tended by others.  It’s part astrology-based coaching program, part healing + wholeness support, part campfire, part sacred ceremony, and part dance party. And, for my introverts out there, the community part is personally-gauged, you can show up in the shine as inspired, and you can engage the offerings in a more personal and private way, you choose.

With the ancient wisdom of archetypal astrology as our organizing framework (it is the cosmos after all), we are rocketing beyond its mere mental concepts and tiny boxes, into a deep embodied personal connection with cosmos, collective and our psyche. We are…

 

…going deep

…getting real

…discovering our truest essence

… cultivating our inner wholeness + resources

…learning new tools and practices to support us

…meaningfully connecting with heart-kin. 

 

The Soul Tender community offers the following each month:

LIVE LUNATION IMMERSION 

(90 min virtual call) On or around every NEW MOON, we will explore ONE single astrological archetype each month, which is a facet of your own inner being.  In April, we’ll work with Aries; May, Taurus, and so on. We’ll bring out major themes that invite us deeper into our own beings and our experiences being human.

You will receive insight, inspiration and invitations for deeper engagement with each pattern of energy in your own life.

Your soul will be powerfully tended through meditations, poems, images, writing, movement, and practices you can take into your life. 

We’ll also reflect and be heard by one another during these gatherings.

MONTHLY FIRESIDE WISDOM TALK

(60 min virtual call) On or around every FULL MOON, we’ll sit around the proverbial sacred fire, listening to the wisdom of someone deeply engaged in sacred work related to our archetype.  This will help you bring the themes of the month into your life even more meaningfully.

Having many contributing teachers shifts us into a mycelial leadership model.

THE WELL

We’ll have a highly engaging, rich and deep container of support from which you can draw regular soul nourishment. 

This will be held virtually on Mighty Network, a private, secure and distraction-, surveillance-, and censorship-free space. 

Here, you will receive soul tending by way of rich conversations with fellow soul tenders, invitations to regular deep self-inquiry, meditations, deep imagery journeys, sound transmissions, poems, astrology special topics, and much more. 

This is a place for us to be intentionally generous with each other.  

You may engage as you wish.     

What did you do when the world was burning?

Bring your compassionate + restless hunger and your heartache here to Soul Tender.   

Let’s not fix or rescue what is dying but compassionately witness its passage and become midwives for the new life being birthed through the chaos of great dissolution and destruction. 

Let’s put our energy into building anew together. 

And making the hell holy. 

And participating in something worthwhile. 

The only way through is through

And hard things are best done together.


I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.
— Mother Teresa

JOIN SOUL TENDER

Soul Tender is for those longing for a space that honors the depths of their inner being.

This is for those who long for a deeper connection with others, a place where they can participate in meaningful co-creation rather than consumption. Soul Tender is for those who want to cultivate their imaginal and deep feeling selves, to participate in something deep and worthwhile, to dream in the new ways of humanity with other like-Souls.
