COMMUNE

by Salome MC

 “Teasturbed Commune” was a multidimensional community gathering project I founded in Seattle in 2019, aiming to create communal support for new mothers struggling with postpartum anxiety, based on my own two times experience of the ailment. The project was supported by the patrons who purchased the Teasturbed tea blends, keeping the healing sessions accessible and free for all. As I moved to Austin in 2023 with my family, the Teasturbed project in its Seattle form ceased to exist as it was reliant on locality, but the community of moms we built still lives on in other communication methods. In the meantime, I’m in the process of transforming Teasturbed into a new project for 2026 for its Austin revival, while staying on the subject of communal healing. In the meantime you mighy spot me and my tea blends in local artisan markets occasionally!
