About this episode
Why three episodes about community on a storytelling podcast? Well, community is where storytelling takes place, after all, and it's who stories are about. Stories weave webs between communities, and not just between human communities. Stories also reveal existing connective strands that we might have otherwise missed. And really, all our human stories are within the larger stories of water movement, evolution, geological and climate shifts, and the life cycles of stars. Be that as it may, we’re here on Earth, and some of us are really trying to learn to be better members of the wider Earth community. One such person is Kester Reid, co-founder of the awesome Fianna Wilderness School ( fianna.ca ). In this episode he talks about the games, songs, ceremonies and yes, stories, employed within the school. All of them help make a cultural container to reconnect with the other wondrous beings we share this world with. Before this, Chay Beriault makes a cameo to touch on some interesting and useful psychology and communication methods. They may help you deepen your sense of self, as well as your relationships.
