COZY ZONE with Ben Weber

In May 2016, I gave my sperm to help two dear friends have a baby. On February 22, 2017, she arrived! Now, I have so many feelings.

Stephen Sheffer is an actor, a writer, a singer, a doer, and a tall, sweet handsome. I had the privilege to cozy up to Stephen in Prospect Park to talk about our child artist selves, the outdoors, and fear.

Here is Ellice’s bio from her healing practice Brooklyn Whole Health:

ELLICE PLANT is dedicated to developing wholeness in mind, body, and spirit. Her studies and practice led her to the teachings of Dr. Naina Marballi, who initiated Ellice into Ayurvedic teachings. As a certified holistic health counselor, Ellice feels honored to further her own learning through guiding others to whole health and understanding. As a social worker, Ellice works toward systemic change that makes liberation is accessible for all. In these practices, Ellice is continuously reminded that the anti-violence and anti-oppression work of the world happens on the individual level, first.

Ellice works with individuals, families, and groups as they work to transform patterns and purpose. Our work together examines areas including relationship status, gender identity and expression, health, and career. The thirteen years Ellice spent teaching high school give her special insight with adolescents and their caregivers. As a cisgender queer woman, Ellice has both personal and professional experience in creating healthy, nourishing spaces for queer and trans people and those who love them.
