Introducing... subtledream newsletter
The subtledream newsletter is a curation of reflections, global good news, original content, and recommended gems from around the internet & our world. Free & ad-free. Sign up here.
Kicked off the first-ever newsletter with this header image. A beautiful scene & time I shall never forget. Taken in Oregon, Aug 2020.
The purpose of the newsletter is to share with you & the world:
original work in various formats, including Wilderness Within Podcast
good news about people & planet that inspire & spark hope, instead of despair & divide. big thanks to Fix The News and other sources.
curated content such as videos, books, podcasts, and offerings that I find of value
snippets of life for those of you personally connected to me :)
For a number of years, I feel as though I have already been doing so on social media, patreon, and through direct messages/emails. However, what's become apparent to me are the limitations of social media algorithms + content overload on those platforms, the inefficiency of individual messaging (though that'll still happen 🙃), and that I do not wish to constantly put content behind a paywall. I would rather distribute freely to a wider audience, and if folks find value, feel compelled, and have the financial ability, to pitch in at a level they are content with to make my time even more worthwhile. This is a also conscious step in redefining who I am out to the world. Rather than simply being "the guy who takes pretty pictures and videos," or "that nomadic photographer," I want to explore other aspects of my ever-evolving being and interests, and how they could continue to serve me and others too. Since everyone has email, and because I am embracing the fact that I truly get joy in the creating-curating-sharing process, here we are.
The newsletter is free, ad and sponsor-free (in big part thanks to supporting patrons), and I intend to keep it that way, at least for some time. ✌🏽
I hope you enjoy this publication! Thank you for your time & attention - they are invaluable!
Gratitude is everything.
I took this image in 2018 while in Byron Bay, Australia, not knowing that I’d still be using it years later… 😉
Norway, Apr 2019. A journey that meant and helped me so, so much. Very grateful for that experience.
