What’s The Earth Has a Mother?

The Earth Has a Mother (formerly The Vilde Chaya) is a reader-supported newsletter about mothering in a climate emergency that arrives in your inbox every Friday mornings.

All subscribers receive a weekly email with Earth-based practices, tips, and rituals to help you develop your connection to Earth around the year and across different epochs of life.

Paid subscribers also receive my highly personal stories about being an Earth-loving mother raising a child during these urgent times. I share my own perspective with the hopes that it stirs something in your soul, or at least makes you feel less alone out there. Imagine me as a millennial Jewish Anne Lammott (if only!).

I write about from my own perspective, as an Ashkenazi Jewish woman who grew up in the suburbs of Washington, DC and now lives in a small town in Oregon, but my hope is that my writing feels helpful, in some small way.
