• the elements of a really cool gathering
• our ideas for events we'd like to host together
• how ritual can bring people together
• Kalli's form of self-care: showing herself grace and allowing herself to rest when she needs it

SELF CARE LEVEL 1000 is a podcast about the many ways we nurture ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually so that we show up more fully in the world and do the good work that needs to be done. We will get curious together about how we can practice self care in multiple ways with many modalities, leveling up the love we show ourselves every day. Hosted by Erin Polley (she/her) - a community organizer, yoga teacher and healer who is obsessed with sharing tools with people so they can heal themselves and the world.
