A Gentle Landing is a “poetic playground for restless dreamers.”

This newsletter is a breath of fresh air in a world that keeps getting faster. Shaped by a womanist ethic of care and Black feminist poetics, rose approaches vocational discernment in ways that move us toward softness and community. Theologically educated, trauma-sensitive, and artistically minded, Rose unpacks these themes in ways that honor the subtle and ordinary moves toward liberation found in daily acts of survival.

This newsletter is for the nerds.

For the contemplatives.

For the mystics.

For the artists.

For the caregivers.

For the hopeful.

For the cynical.

For you.
