“Connection” Recap

We are so grateful for our special guests from last night: Elisa Camahort Page (Co-founder of BlogHer), Christine Arylo (author and spiritual catalyst) and Shiloh Sophia (artist and UN Speaker)! Each one brought her own take on our theme of “CONNECTION” and in fact, there were many connections we discovered just before the show. One was that our friend and AltSpaceVR Community Manger, Lisa Kotecki, independently knew each of them. Another was that the new AltSpaceVR office was in the same location as the original BlogHer office!

We had Elisa’s take on community, taking action locally, and what it means to be an introvert or extrovert; Christine’s recommendation for how to get through turbulent times (hint: go spend time in Nature); and Shiloh’s invitation to think about your dream, and how to make space for a new possibility in your life.

We’ll update when the replay is available! Until then, if you want to stay connected with us, please be sure to subscribe to our blog and/or follow us on Twitter and Instagram @ChewOnThisStory.

Next show in Virtual Reality: January 17, 2017!

Thanks to our special guests Kristina Wong and Saba Tekle for an incredible evening of stories and celebrating how story connects! After enjoying the musical creations of our house jazz trio, Signal to Noise, we began a conversation with Saba Tekle, publisher and author of 20 Beautiful Women, about how women’s concept of beauty can affect their sense of self, and how to bring out inner beauty. Kristina Wong delighted the audience with a never-before-told story of online dating, followed by an illuminating Q&A about her earlier work on “Wong Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” Thanks to our friend, producer Bruce Pachtman, we had cake to share with our audience. We gave away over $500 worth of prizes, including body products from Archetypal Musings, chocolate from Socola Chocolatier, a writing workshop from The Writing Pad, and a free photography session from Dara Rosenwasser Photography.
