The Tending Institute
Where steadiness is grown.
The Tending Institute is a teaching and research institute devoted to building human capacity in destabilizing times.
Our work includes research, education, and the cultivation of land and products that embody these practices.
Tending is the disciplined practice of caring for selves, shelter, and social fabric so that we remain capable under pressure.
When pressure rises, capacity decides.
Tending is what keeps systems, selves, and surroundings from breaking.
