— creative connection —

No. 01 · welcome, curious human

A letter to my Tokyo-residing creative, whimsical, nerdy, holistic, witchy, queer, literary, holistic, magical, neurodivergent, femme/them humans.

I'm tired. We're all tired. We're all craving real community, and instead being met with small-talk and pleasantries.

We need a 'village'. Real, genuine connection that is curious and kind. I want Kindred Collective to become a space of safety, support, and shared resources – mutual care for the hard days, and mutual joy on the good ones. The creativity flows, and we nurture each other's growth.

In this village, we pour tea for whoever arrives, and the table grows when there are new faces. Grief, burnout, exhaustion – they are not embarrassing, but things to be held and shared. Joy and laughter are plentiful and open. You are just right, as you are, without the mask. We ask for support as freely as we offer it.

If this feels like something you've been looking for, tell me a little bit about yourself below.

warmly,
Anya

your email – it will only be used to send word about upcoming gatherings and the occasional important notice. Just reply to the email if you're not interested any longer.

A community calendar is in the works – once I have a better grasp on what kind of things everyone is gravitating towards, and community gatherings are scheduled, it will be shared.

i'm excited
