016 Community Conversations | Cultivating Community
The episode features hosts Abbie Asadi and Ryan Hartley discussing the themes of "cultivation" and "experience" in relation to community. Abbie shares personal stories from a recent weekend in London, where she attended concerts with her son and mother. These experiences led her to reflect on the significance of creativity and individuality within a community, and how personal journeys can inspire and connect with others.
Ryan and Abbie explore how these concepts of cultivation—nurturing relationships and experiences—and experience itself play a critical role in building and sustaining communities. They delve into the idea of personal growth and shared experiences as the foundation of a strong community, emphasizing the importance of being present and supportive in each other's journeys.
The conversation is rich with personal anecdotes, insights into the creative process, and reflections on the importance of community in their lives. This episode offers listeners an intimate look at how personal experiences can foster a deeper sense of connection and belonging within a community.
The hosts also touch on the broader implications of these themes, suggesting that by cultivating meaningful relationships and embracing our individual experiences, we contribute to a more vibrant and supportive community. This episode is a celebration of community, creativity, and the shared human experience.
