Subscriptions to A Quiet Practice are open!

Hello all,

I just wanted to send a quick note to my close inner circle of supporters here on substack first. I finally finished my LLC formation, business checking account establishment, and business licensing stuff this morning. It feels like I have crested a giant mountain to get here. I thank all of you for your continued care and support of my work. I am officially open for subscriptions to this essay series. There are three tiers of subscriptions:

• Free: You will receive two free essays a month on Sunday mornings (26 total a year). This offering is for folks curious about my thoughts and practice who want to get a feeling for if I would make a good addition to their headspace.
• Paid: For $8 dollars a month or $80 dollars a year, you will receive all essays that I publish on my substack. My plan is to continue to migrate more of my work off of Instagram in the coming months and share two essays a week. The Sunday essay will remain the polished artistic writing you have come to expect and another essay (Day TBD) will be more of a notes from the workshop on what I got cooking on the spindles and looms. This offering will be for folks who are really interested in my craft and thoughts and don’t want to miss what I am working or reflecting on.
• Founders: For $200 dollars a year, you will get all the benefits outline above, but you will also receive a 30 minute zoom chat with me, a personalized thank you note, and a small fiber spell (roughly 5 in x 5 in.) I will also add a note at the end of every essay thanking you for your unique contribution as a founder to this project. This offering is for folks that want to be in community with me and want to be recognized as key underwriters of this magical fiber quest.
• Complimentary: If you are struggling financially or are a member of historically marginalized group such as the Latinx, BIPOC, or LGBTIA+ communities, please do not hesitate to reach out to me for a complimentary subscription by emailing me at jamesjdavis2@gmail.com. This community is stronger the more we actively take away barriers to folks who have traditionally been excluded from community conversations. I want this to be a safe place for you all to land.

I am excited to have you consider my offerings. Again, thank you so much for the years of support by reading and sharing my work. You all demonstrated to me that my voice matters. I take this step with a lot of fear and doubt, but I am willing to take the leap to see if my community will catch me. Here’s to hoping that we can keep this little pirate radio station on the internet active for years to come. Please click the link below to upgrade your subscription to the offering of your choosing.
