Why I'm with the New Story with K Stellar Dutcher

K Stellar Dutcher has been a key member of the New Story community since our earliest days - they bring facilitation skills, musical gifts, and enhance the presence of kindness among us. For the next episode of the New Story Festival podcast, we talked about why Stellar got on board, what it means to them to be part of our work, and their hopes for the future. It's a short conversation with a lot of heart, and we're happy to share it with you here.

If you want to participate in person in more conversations like this, there are two opportunities coming soon - the New Story Retreat in March, and the New Story Festival in September. We hope to see you there!
