TENDER

A woman sits on the ground with her eyes closed. A wolf stands beside her, resting its head on top of hers. Two birds fly in the distance

Eco-Anxiety Kit, coming January 2026

Tender is a trauma-informed creativity kit for easing eco-anxiety and nurturing resilience in a changing world. Blending somatic grounding, nature-based ritual, and playful sound-making, it invites you to listen, craft, and grow calm alongside the earth. Inside you’ll find materials to create a soothing instrument from natural elements, tactile tools for self-regulation, and prompts that transform climate grief into agency and care. Whether you’re an educator, activist, or simply someone who feels the ache of environmental change, Tender offers a quiet refuge and practical practices for staying rooted, hopeful, and connected while tending the planet—and yourself.

Every time you buy a TENDER kit, you're also investing in planetary healing. We pledge 10% of our net profits from TENDER to the Planetary Health Alliance, supporting global research, advocacy, and education at the intersection of human and environmental health.
