This is for you—for being here first:

At some point in the last three years, you found your way to this unique space for living deeply, personal growth, and social change.

Since then, you’ve joined us for quiet moments on Sunday mornings. Changing seasons—internal and external. You've read, reflected, grown.

Your survey responses last month made something beautifully clear: those who get it, really get it. You told us this space has become something rare—a pause in the noise, a moment to breathe, a reminder of what matters. As one reader put it:

You asked for more: audio versions for morning walks, seasonal guides for deeper work, resources that actually help you transform. You want to go deeper, but thoughtfully. Slowly. With intention. We do too.

So, before we switch over, we're inviting you, first, to be a part of exactly that.

For the next 60 days, we're opening Founding Memberships to everyone who's been part of this journey. During this phase, everyone (including non-members) can still access the journal, but Founding Members get to explore this next phase right away.

That means that Founding Members get:

Importantly, you’ll help create and sustain a space that exists nowhere else.

After these 60 days, membership will be $6/month for all new members. But for you—if you decide to join as a Founding Member—$4. Forever. In honor of being first.

This isn't about building another community or platform. It's about protecting and deepening the unique space this has become. Where transformation happens slowly, authentically. Where you're not the product being sold to advertisers, but someone whose growth actually matters.

No gimmicks. No pressure. Just an invitation to continue this journey in a way that sustains the work and honors what we've built.

To be clear, you can lock in the Founding Member rate anytime between now and September 8^th. After that, this rate disappears completely—and the work that goes into the journal, and the space it has created, will be exclusively for members.

But until then, regular journal issues (but not the audio option, guides, or anything new that comes with it) will remain available to everyone. So, no rush. This decision, like all good things, deserves space to breathe.

We'll be back Sunday with your regular issue. Whether you join us as a Founding Member or not, thank you for three years of trust. For opening these emails when your inbox is already too full. For seeing what’s being created here.

For getting it.

With gratitude,

the soulstice team
