Full Bloom Pod
by Emma Mutch and Taylor Neal
The Full Bloom Pod aims to be a safe container for dialogue and radical expression of the messy, beautiful moving parts of our ever-evolving selves. Through conversation, compassionate listening, and cracking open the limiting systems and structures that challenge our expansion, we offer monthly, heart-centered chats with guests that embody the bloom. We hold hands, we take a deep belly breath, and together we grow. Get cozy, light a candle, make a snack - we’re really just chatting and figuring it all out together.
