Rest is a
RIGHT
not
a reward
Tandem’s Sanctuary Fellowship is a rest fellowship designed to give social changemakers time to pause.
It’s about allowing space to breathe, to be still and to reconnect to themselves and their purpose.
Tandem is a for-purpose organization created by three women who have poured themselves into their work in the name of social change and, as a result, have experienced burnout and breaking points.
But they learned through it all: we cannot give what we do not have.
Tandem is reimagining how to care for people who care for the world. Social changemakers carry not just the weight of reimagining systems and bringing the world along, they also shoulder the emotional labor of navigating extractive systems.
We believe this is unacceptable.
The Sanctuary Fellowship is our response to this unsupportive system.
It’s a place to rest, reflect, and reconnect. A quiet revolution in how we sustain social change by resourcing the people at its heart.
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”
