Pilgrimage into Storytelling with Kim Powers

  • Summary

  • This was a fun and wide ranging conversation with visual artist Kim Powers! Kim shares with us the importance of storytelling and the ways that our stories can either bring us together or tear us apart. We talk about why art and beauty matters, particularly when everything feels kind of dark and the importance of finding the wholeness of all the things. Kim invites us to make room for the fullness of others, and in doing so, we also make room for the fullness of ourselves.

    Cool stuff we talked about this episode (or meant to anyways):
    • Art Sanctuary by Nikki Giovanni
    • How to Die Alone
    • Adrienne Maree Brown
    • Kim’s gorgeous website
    • How to Bridge Deep Divides with Loved Ones - Ted Talk with Betty Hart
