A Message from
Our Founder
Hi, I’m Sharon Michaels, an educator and
the founder of Tended Collective.
I’m so glad you’re here.
Whether you’ve joined us after a challenging school year, in search of community, or simply because your spirit needs tending,
you belong here.
I created Tended Collective out of necessity.
Too often, as educators, we are expected to carry the emotional weight of schools in silence. But we deserve space to release, reflect, and restore.
Our writing circles, journal prompts, and collective care are rooted in the belief that your feelings matter—and that healing is both possible and powerful when done in community. This is your space to breathe again.
