meet Cat Lantigua (she/her): the Dominican-American first-time author, facilitator, community conduit, and so much more. in this in depth, multifaceted interview, Cat shares her journey from her origins in the Bronx, NY to becoming a community leader and founder through her work with Goddess Council® through present day where she exists bi-coastally between Mexico City and New York architecting soulful connections and fostering intentional communities both online and IRL.

we discuss what it means to be a community conduit, the challenges of burnout, and the necessity of deep, meaningful connections in a world that often prioritizes superficial interactions and is facing a daunting loneliness epidemic. Cat also truthfully unpacks the power of celibacy in enhancing creativity, while also reflecting on the wisdom of elders and the importance of showing up for one another in community.
