On this episode of Pathways, Dr. Meeker is joined by Phoenix Kawamoto (a NYSTINRC Storyteller in Residence) for a conversation about the transformative role of storytelling in personal and collective healing. Through rich imagery, symbolism, and shared narrative experiences, stories provide a safe and indirect way to explore emotions, connect with others, and reflect on our shared humanity.
Key topics include:
- How stories serve as mirrors to our humanity and foster self-reflection
- Storytelling as a tool for collective healing and community building
- Fostering compassion and mutual understanding across diverse backgrounds
