Description

Oo Oo Interviews are back! I sit down with Diana P. Cartwright, the pen-name of a very talented and moving human who studies the intricate layering of patterns, stories, and history we have written about the planet we call Venus. I wanted to ensure we wove in the relational aspects of both Venus as archetype and Venus as guide to be in right relationship with erotic selves and our community at large. What unfolds is a flowy delicious conversation that blew my heart and mind wide open. Please enjoy.
And here are some links/resources to accompany our chat plus one correction:
Correction: Diana credited Bayo Akomolafe with the word “interbeing” but it’s Thich Nhat Hahn’s word
