✿ a tender garden ✿

holding space is an artist collective, a gentle place to land, a soft situation, a long form poem, a creativity workshop, a cold glass of water, an intimate altar, a container to stretch, a shared somersault, a platonic romance, a passed bowl of popcorn, a cozy picnic, a group chat.
