🌍 How to identify and explore what you enjoy: In adulthood, many of us are forced to recalibrate our relationship with joy. As responsibilities multiply, time grows limited, and challenges mount, it's harder to make time for fun, let alone remember what it feels like. As we explore the key components of happiness, we ask the question: what really brings me joy? → Podcast
​
🌍 Understanding our sexual fantasies: In this podcast, two leading sexual wellness experts talk about reckoning feminist values with sexual fantasies, orgasms, porn, and how sharing our experiences can be transformational and help us broaden the conversation around sex and our bodies. → Podcast​
​
🌍 Why we work so damn much: We often get a sense of identity, self-esteem, purpose, and community from work. It can be a source of structure and meaning in our lives. This might be one of the reasons why we are so obsessed with work though. If we can start rebuilding our sense of purpose and community on things outside of work, how might that change our society? → Podcast

Spotted in our community garden this week is a new social enterprise ARCA co-created by our Bloomer over in Brazil...Lara 🇧🇷
​
​Arca Fine Arts connects migrant women in the Global South with new possibilities through photography. They provide an inclusive immersion journey for women who come to Brazil in search of better living conditions. For six months, the women are integrated into the local ecosystem, receive qualification in photography and, at the end, are paid for the production and sale of images offered on our digital channels. Congratulations Lara on this phenomenal community. 💜
