Hi <3
Welcome to Tender Contributions!
I’m so happy and honoured to have you here reading and engaging with this work.
I started this newsletter because I truly believe that tenderness is the virtue of our times. But it’s a virtue that feels harder and harder to hold onto in this immense time of disruption that we are living through that is constantly trying to harden us.
TC’s north star starting point is that if we want the world to change, we have to change and I truly believe that in order for that to happen we have to wake up to the layers of conditioning that take us away from the truth of who we really are on a soul level.
TC is a space of personal inquiry where I am sharing my process of learning and shedding as I transform. I like to think of it as a womb or cocoon-like space to practice all the knowledge I am receiving, absorbing and marinating in.
Here, I am trying to practice learning to see the world anew through a lens of tenderness amidst all the harshness, so I can move through it better equipped and malleable to not only survive but thrive.
Trying to practice tenderness means my posts here won’t always be regular. This is not a space for churning out content for the sake of filling space, this is a place for meaningful intentional thinking and reflection, where I only write when it feels right because when I do I put my all into it. I hope that’s okay with you and if not please feel totally free to unsubscribe.
This newsletter for now is set to free, for all to be able to access but if you have the yearning and means to support this project, I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support.
From now on you’ll be receiving these streams of consciousness straight into your inbox but you can also log in to the website to read the full archive.
And lastly, some basic housekeeping: if you can’t find the newsletter, check your spam folder and mark this address as ‘not spam’.
Love Naomi
