Asteria’s Convos
Community. Building the future. It’s about actual actions that people are taking to build community in their daily lives. Mentorship, eating together and apart, pleasure, attachment, meeting neighbors in the city. It’s got laypeople possibly misquoting neuroscience. It’s got spiritual practice. It’s got privilege awareness and knowledge of complex, intersectional power dynamics. It EVEN has examples of parenting in community and how to advocate for others. Casual conversation vibe. For regular people who need help AND who want to help. Anyone who wants a better world in action. Inspirational without being preachy. Practical. Earnest.
