The Poisoned Antelope and Cultural Change

Last year, we dealt with many changes. I had the good fortune of joining a project dedicated to saving the second largest rainforest on our planet, the Congo Basin. The genius minds behind that project had made a compilation of Congolese folklore and mythology. The Congolese have passed these stories from one generation to another for over three thousand years. The book, Congo Tales, is filled with stunning photographs taken by Pieter Henket and stories that easily remind the reader of The Brothers Grimm fairy tales. This selection captures Congolese culture and wisdom in a most breathtaking way. As an advocate of cultural change, one story...

The Challenge of Connecting

The Challenge of Connecting   As a teacher and performer, it is my job to create a connection with the people around me. Theoretically it isn’t that hard because we all have things in common. Practically on the other hand, it can be tricky to see what it is that we share in any given moment. It takes practice. Sometimes it is super easy to make that connection; a shared joke over a mutually loved TV show or song, a smile that lets everyone know that it’s time for fun. Other times it’s hard; feelings surface which block the moment (insecurities, entitlement or dominance) and make people...
