Grief & Praise Somatic Community Zoom with Sabrina Simon (next session March 29, 10am-12 PST)

Welcome to Stellar Village
-
We're all about belonging!
-
This village is sort of the opposite of social media - it's a sanctuary for social nutrients like singing, collaboration, collective care, and relational skills!
We offer real-time activities to connect from wherever you are, because making friendships is the opposite of Othering. Many of our events are recorded for you to watch whenever. And we also have hybrid and in-person events. Because hugs. -
-
We think the medicine that our divided world needs is vulnerable, loving, and joyful relationships — with ourselves, within our wonderfully diverse human world, between communities, with other species, with spirit (however we each define that), and with the planet.
Our work here building authentic friendships is in service of systemic change: pathways and on ramps out of racism, homophobia, transphobia, mentalism, agism, etc.

Community Connection when in-person is not available
Vic Hariton
Recreating community is so very important in what has become a global isolation epidemic. If you're one of those wanting or needing connection, this is a beautiful platform for helping.
