You may notice that there’s no difference between free and paid subscriptions on this Substack. That’s intentional.
I offer everything here — letters, reflections, poems, transmissions from the silence — to everyone, freely and fully. If a single phrase here helps someone find peace, soften their grief, or return to themselves… then it belongs to them, not behind a wall.
This is a sanctuary, not a business.
A place of quiet offering, not transaction.
For those who choose the paid option, I hold that as a gift — a donation of the heart, freely given. It helps sustain the larger work of Meditation Sans Frontières, the sanctuary behind Tea & Zen, and allows me to keep holding space for those walking through the fire, the quiet, the unknown.
So whether you’re here reading as a guest or as a giver:
You are welcome.
You are needed.
You are home.
With love,

In the quiet between heartbeats a whisper calls you home, you are not broken you are becoming. These threads of silence and sound are letters from the threshold, offerings from the edge of stillness. Nigel TEA AND ZEN - MAIN LIBRARY
