Tending Ground
Join our membership community – receive a complimentary subscription to The Lissome magazine, and more.
The Lissome was born from a longing: to imagine a more beautiful, regenerative and interconnected way of life – one rooted in care, craft and the wisdom of the living world. In uncertain times, we believe that storytelling can be a powerful form of activism – a way to plant seeds of change, nurture belonging and illuminate pathways forward.
By becoming a member, you support our mission to create thoughtful, in-depth journalism that centres resilience, creativity and cultural transformation – with a one-of-a-kind focus on regenerative fashion, craftsmanship and the interconnected systems they touch. From the wisdom of making by hand to the possibilities of design-led activism, we explore how garments, materials and traditions can help shape a more humane and life-affirming future. You’ll also be joining a growing community of readers, makers and visionaries who are choosing to meet this moment with purpose and hope.
Memberships include a complimentary copy of our annual print edition and more (see details below) and help ensure that our independent publishing rooted in beauty and integrity can continue to thrive.
