Stories of Astonishing Light with KJ Nasrul
The Beauty in Belonging and Finding Your Tribe | The Magical Cartographers
When and how did you know you belonged? When and how did you know you had found your tribe? Today, KJ jams with her Karaoke crew--The Magical Cartographers--about the nuances and complexities of belonging and how our desire to connect with others shapes our decisions and the way we show up in the world every day.
Today, in addition to reminiscing about Def Leppard concerts, KJ introduces you to three astonishing, spicy women who are mapping out the uncharted territories through storytelling, with the mission to create space for folks to gather and share their experiences about being authentic, doing things differently, and bringing voice to diverse ideas and perspectives. This is all in an invitation for you to do the same. Please join us? You are always welcome in this tribe, Healers.
Takeaways and Considerations:
1. We are absorbing, sensitive creatures in our youth.
2. How is your idea of belonging informed when you found no representations in the “outside world” that looked like you?
3. Where do the weirdo kids, the feral ones, the dreamers fit in?
4. Is belonging about being accepted for who we truly, genuinely are?
5. Whom in your life fits that description- of accepting and supporting you in all your facets?
