STORAGE CONTAINER 13

Honoring Archives of Friendship (mini ecosystems of personalized long form care) as a way of De-centering the Individual and Re-prioritizing the Collective Whole

w/ Ella Warren & Kelsey Rootenberg

Two ceramic cups sitting on top of a light wooden counter. The cup on the viewer's left is red and the cup on the viewer's right is royal blue. The two cups are casting a small circular shadow and the red cup is slightly in front of the blue cup.

A warm and loving sharing of the many ways Los Angeles based best friends and offerers of care - Ella Warren and Kelsey Rootenberg provide safe containers for one another. How can friendship offer both the comfort of acceptance and unconditional love as well as the necessary giving and receiving action which lends itself to growth?

Can friendship respond to moments of heaviness in the way that tendons and ligaments of the body do? Growing to meet the needs of resistance and weight.

In this conversation, Callie offers questions to create a tender explorative space for Ella and Kelsey to honor, acknowledge, share, remember, story-tell, and laugh with all of the sacred innermost workings of their love for one another. This episode works to ask the question - if we spend more present moments listening to one another’s unique stories of mutual care, can we continue to work towards ecosystems where we are de-centering the individual and re-prioritizing the collective whole? All music featured in the episode was selected by Ella and Kelsey as a way to provide a mini snapshot into their special sonic pocket of the universe.
