<p>"What is the message that wants to come through you now?"</p>
<p>This is the question storyteller David Alder asked each of us to contemplate as we embarked on an 8-week writing course—the result of which became the previous episode of this podcast (an episode my husband said was my best ever!)</p>
<p>We all have stories within us that shape us at a profound level and change the way we engage with this world. Sometimes, these stories reawaken within us and ask to be shared. David Alder is a storyteller shepherding people to create parables of change through his transformative writing courses and workshops.</p>
<p>He is also the author of a thought-provoking parable of his own called "<a href="https://hereandnowstudios.com/we-will-call-it-pala" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">We Will Call it Pala</a>" a cautionary tale about the mainstream use and commodification of the psychedelic therapy movement.</p>
<p>If you've never engaged in a consistent writing practice before, David shares practical and energetic tools to cultivate a discipline around storytelling and shares a compelling and urgent treatise for why our world needs more heart-centered stories to individually and collectively raise the vibration of our planet.</p>
<p>I hope you love this conversation as much as I did.</p>
