On Expansive Friendship & Platonic Intimacy

On Expansive Friendship & Platonic Intimacy

In this episode, Céline, Trixie and Maria discuss the beauty and complexity of friendships, including their own, and explore ways of elevating and celebrating friendships and platonic intimacy. They discuss how we can move away from a relationship hierarchy built on romantic partnership and the nuclear family, and expand our practices of friendship and affection to be more generous, creative, subversive, and abundant. A lot of this conversation was inspired by Mia Birdsong’s book, How We Show Up, but you don’t need to have read the book to dial in (although we hope you eventually do!).

Episode Notes & Annotations

We brainstormed this episode topic before we’d all read the book, but Mia Birdsong’s How We Show Up ended up being a major anchor for our discussion. We especially recommend the audiobook version, which Mia reads herself.

Trixie reads from Andie Nordgren’s “The short instructional manifesto for relationship anarchy:” “https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/andie-nordgren-the-short-instructional-manifesto-for-relationship-anarchy

The final poem Céline reads is by Lora Mathis, part of their “Platonic Intimacy” series: http://www.loramathis.com/platonic-intimacy
