Kate and Autumn Star have been long time peripheral community members with many overlapping orbits but little close contact. In this chat, Autumn shares about their vision for re-shaping cultures through nurturing relational skills and learning in community. We talk about navigating the tension between our dreams and 'reality,' the gifts of queerness in change-making, and what turns 'practice' into just the way we live.
About Autumn Star:
"I am a polyamorous, white, non-disabled, Jewish queer. I was born and raised on the traditional land of the Seneca Nation in rural New York and now live on the traditional land of the Puyallup Tribe in Tacoma, Washington. I have a deep bellied laugh and a big smile. I love to grow emotionally and intellectually, individually and with community. My passions include social responsibility, healing work, dance, gathering with community, exploring relational and group dynamics, and visiting the land I grew up on."
Autumn currently practices therapy in Washington state, mostly for families and couples. They are currently accepting new clients. Get in touch with Autumn: www.autumncstar.com
