One of the best things about being in Taiwan for an extended period is meeting one my favorite podcasters!!

Susie is the brilliant podcaster behind 雪梨台灣阿姐的碎碎念 (華語). She's very consistent at content creation. There's so much I admire about her. What a treat for me that we were able to connect in person!

She's feeling the Camino's calling, and interviews me about my walk on the Camino Portuguese! Here's the uncut version of our conversation!

The topic of today's discussion is a quick overview of what personal storytelling means to us, as it's been a key part of my life the past few years. Eric and I met a few years ago when I was in the beginning stages of podcasting and simultaneously working through some painful moments.

It's been really rewarding that we've stayed in loose contact over the years, and serendipitous that we both happen to overlap in Taiwan this month. It's fun talking with someone who thinks deeply on similar issues (which maybe we'll touch on next time).

Eric is a terrific facilitator and storytelling enthusiast. I've been working on a few projects over the years (chief among them podcasting and writing, while dabbling in a few other things). Though these experiences, I've found that being in creativity cohorts is super helpful and inspiring -- there's magic when you're able to create a safe and vulnerable space to turn pain, stuckness, overwhelming emotions into works of art and healing.

Knowing the power of personal storytelling and carving out time for creativity, we are in early planning phases of putting together a cohort-based Creativity Retreat in Taiwan, and would love to know if any listeners are interested in joining us!

三星尼泊爾手工藝品 Three Stars Nepal
A shop in Taichung, Taiwan selling Himalayan singing bowls (頌缽) and other Nepali gifts and products)

After joining a community sound bath experience hosted by my Vipasanna roommate in Taichung, we went to the first shop in Taiwan to sell singing bowls. I was keen to get one, but it felt overwhelming to play and pick. A very Harry Potter for me. We were there for hours, playing bowls and listening to stories about how Mother Earth is always in communication with us. Maybe next time, the match will be obvious 😉

I went back the next day to interview the owner, Surya, for the podcast. He had a number of wonderful stories about growing up in Nepal, being a mountain guide to Annapurna, and becoming an entrepreneur after immigrating to Taiwan over 25 years ago.

Thank you, Surya, for letting us be in your space for so long!!

老闆二十五年前從尼泊爾移民到台灣。很高興可去店裡學怎麼摩摸頌缽與聊人生的成長！
