#71: The Power of Personal Storytelling in Cohorts | Eric Dhan Taiwanese Diaspora 台灣人 Podcast

    • Society & Culture

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!



Indicate your interest here, and we'll reach out with details!
