About the course
This fundamentals course is for you if you've ever asked any of the following questions—plus so many more!: 💜 How can I support my community, when I’m struggling so much? 💜 What if I can’t find anyone who truly understands or cares about what I’m going through? 💜 How can I build a strong, caring community step-by-step, even when it feels impossible? 💜 How do I keep showing up when I burn out or have so many chronic needs? 💜 Why do I keep showing up, but it feels like everyone else is leaving?

Building Community Care Fundamentals gave me the language and steps to foster and show up in community more. For those who desire mutual care and learn how to give and receive care, plus how to find and create community/ies, I cannot recommend this course enough. Thank you Ash and Ryder for the thought and intentionality you two put into this course; the passion really comes through!
I have a better understanding of community and what it takes to build, sustain, and show up in community. I especially enjoyed the foster mutuality module where it addresses consent and the needs of everyone within community, as well as the savior complex and expecting unlimited care.
