Miscellaneous
In the first part of this very special episode, Annie joins Coastland Commons for their monthly gathering to talk about the significance of personal story and the importance of trusting our instincts. In the first segment, Dani Forbess and Annie have a conversation in front of a live audience. In part two, Annie sits down for a follow-up conversation with Dani and her fellow Coastland Commons leaders Zac Calvo and Kyle Turver. They recommend engaging in shared meals as a spiritual practice, the book The Half Has Never Been Told, and the 1619 podcast. They also hope you’ll use this recording as a jumping off point to reflect on your own story and to find a safe group of folks with whom to discuss, share, and care for one another’s stories. Suggested discussion questions are: 1) Who is your favorite literary character and what do you admire about them? 2) Did anything in this podcast episode resonate with you? 3) Do you have a story that you can safely share with the group? 4) After hearing from someone, spend a moment in silence and then offer a word of gratitude or blessing to the person who shared.
