About Weave the Web

Support non-carceral, mad-centric, disabled-centric, highly skilled somatic care for queer and trans people. + receive access to care as a mad, trans, neuroqueer, disabled person yourself!

Weave the Web is a collective membership project headed by Sirius Heart of Spiderweb Somatics. It also offers to and with FyerLyon Sortino, and Amber/Ember Katzirah. All 3 are mad, disabled, trans somatic practitioners.

The paid membership part of this site, which you may see, is part of an ongoing question for me that i've been sitting with and trying to hack since at least 2016 (when i first tried to begin a nonprofit for trauma survivors): how to offer lower cost and accessible care options for those of us who need care, while us practitioners, healers, oracles, guides who are highly skilled are also as supported as we need.

enter: Weave the Web, a membership which gives you access to:

  • dispatches from my ongoing projects and reflections
  • longform written and/or audio and/or podcast based pieces from myself, Sirius Heart, along with other contributors
  • features from trans, mad, and disabled practitioners Fyerlyon Sortino and Amber/Ember Katzirah
  • Access to the complete archive of past Substack posts, now hosted here on this site.
  • Subscriber-only body-centered practices from our contributors—gesture, movement, and sensory explorations that honor the wisdom living in our trans mad bodies
  • free once monthly practice spaces for members (determined at practitioner capacity)

the proceeds benefit not 1, but at least THREE practitioners, as well as supporting scholarships + contributions to Black and brown trans mad disabled practitioners. this is distributed with transparency in a 40/30/30 split.

The bulk of what is offered here, writings, somatics, podcasts, etc - will be created by me, Sirius Heart, with occasional contributions from Amber/Ember Katzira and Fyerlyon Sortino, 2 fellow trans and mad disabled somatic practitioners.

Of course, you are welcome to stay a subscriber to free essays only, and if you are integrated in from Substack, that is where you are placed automatically. If you'd like to subscribe to a paid tier, please select which one you'd like. If you do choose to subscribe, you'll receive the above-listed perks. 😄

so what's in it for you as a subscriber?

you get to be part of weaving something real—not just another content subscription, but actual sacred infrastructure for care. when you're a member, you're getting access to work that comes from people who are living this every day—trans, mad, disabled practitioners who aren't just talking about liberation but figuring out how to do it in our bodies, in our relationships, in the daily work of staying alive and connected.

you'll receive writings, practices, and reflections that are born from this lived experience, plus you get to witness something pretty rare: a project that's actually doing what it says about accessibility and mutual aid. your membership doesn't just get you content—it creates scholarships, supports working-class practitioners, and builds sacred infrastructure for care that benefits all of us.

you're not just receiving; you're part of creating the web we're all weaving together. your individual healing journey becomes part of collective transformation—as you tend to your own embodied wisdom, that medicine returns and also mends the web. in this collective moment, being part of a web and ecosystem that means that you receive accessible care, but your work to support that care also supports multiple people - that's part of creating the world we so desperately need.
