Tending Together: Body-Doubling Circle For Tending To Life's Demands

The Invitation

Tending Together is a 90-minute online gathering to tend to the things that matter most, in the company of others.

We meet not to hustle. Not to prove. Not to "be productive".

We meet to be held, to be witnessed, and to remember that the smallest acts can be sacred.

In this space, all forms of labour are valued , whether it’s clearing your inbox, folding laundry, preparing a meal, writing, or working on a creative project.

This is foundational work, the kind that builds safety, stability, and self-trust.

Through gentle structure, ritual, and community, we create a space where you can do the things you’ve been carrying, without having to carry them alone.

Why We Gather

Tending to your life is not a side task, it is the foundation for everything else you long to do and be.When you are supported to meet your needs in sacred company, you are not only building stability in your own life, you are weaving yourself back into the fabric of community.

What This Is Not

• Not therapy – While this space can be deeply supportive, it is not a substitute for counselling or mental health care. Please continue to seek professional support if you need it.
• Not coaching or mentoring – I will hold time, energy, and the container, but I won’t be directing or advising you on what to do. You choose your own tasks and intentions.
• Not about hustle or productivity – This is not about doing more, faster. It’s about creating a sacred, gentle space where even the smallest step is honoured.
• Not performance-based – There is no need to share what you’re working on unless you want to. There is no judgement or measurement here.
• Not only for “work” tasks – Domestic care, rest, creativity, and self-tending are all equally valuable. This space dismantles the hierarchy that says only paid labour matters.

The Foundations Framework

Tending Together is rooted in science, spirituality, and decolonial values — bringing my work as a Spiritual Counsellor, Somatic Embodiment Practitioner, Reiki Master Teacher, Group Facilitator, and Shamanic Healer into one integrated practice.

Maslow’s Hierarchy Reimagined

We tend to the foundation, safety, stability, and basic needs, so we can move with more capacity into creativity, purpose, and deeper healing. Here, this is not a solo, linear climb but a communal, cyclical practice that supports collective thriving.

Polyvagal Theory & Nervous System Care

We begin with ritual and grounding to signal safety to the body. Gentle structure and shared presence bring us into a regulated state where focus and connection feel possible, especially supportive for trauma survivors, the neurodiverse community, and sensitive systems.

Root Chakra Wisdom

We root ourselves in belonging, stability, and connection to the physical realm. Every small act of tending, whether washing dishes or sending emails, becomes an offering to your own groundedness and security.

Decolonial Values & Communal Tending

We honour all forms of labour as sacred, dismantling the capitalist hierarchy that values only what is paid, visible, or measurable. This is an act of reclaiming, a return to ancestral ways of working together to care for what sustains life.
