Button Snail Hum

Button—small, ordinary, holdable Snail—slow, wisdoms of spiral and soil Hum—primordial, water and sky and you

Button Snail Hum is a special pollination project of Noticing Matters.

It’s a simple weekly container for sharing simple invitations of practice, especially for educators, parents, caregivers, and those who support the needs of children and adults.


In a world that’s noisy and cluttered with too much that tugs us away from who we are and what we know, Button Snail Hum offers small seeds to nourish our soils within.

Our current systems of “support” are crumbling as we are creating a more beautiful world. This world—our world—is emerging from each small, ordinary moment of our days.

How we attune, what we notice, the stories we tell, how we connect with each other, how deeply we listen to ourselves—this matters. And this is the matter of the seeds within the vessel of Button Snail Hum.

May we attune to bees, spirals, and the wind—together—as we pollinate liberation and love for all beings.

So it is.

As you tend to the soils around you, Button Snail Hum is a space of tending for YOU.

Open and free to all

sustained through the currency of gifts; no paywalls

Simple weekly messages

small, slow, soft, and playful; no essays or explanations; 200 words or less

Grounded and supportive nourishment

accessible and rooted in trust and curiosity; each week, one morsel: perhaps a somatic practice, invitation to notice and wonder, prompt to reframe a story, question for reflection, nudge for attunement, pause to feel into, or glimpse to savor

Seed and spiral

each small seed (shared on Mondays) will live in a landscape of spiral that will grow and pollinate over time (with the archive open to all subscribers)

Weekly messages from Button Snail Hum will be delivered to you on Mondays through Substack.

I am committing to this container for a period of 10 months (8 September 2025-8 June 2026).

We’ll see what happens after that… maybe its field will continue or nudge itself into a revision… I will listen and let its aliveness show us the way.

I hope you’ll join us!
