From Gareth Higgins: Hi folks - for years Brian Ammons has been helping me see that the truth about many things we take for granted is often a third option beyond the binaries offered in public. Brian is a deeply wise person of integrity, and sharing the work of The Porch with Brian is an amazing gift. I could quote a hundred or more things that Brian has said to me over the years that have made my life better. The video below is a distillation of one of Brian’s abiding passions: to help us gain clarity about what we’re here for, without turning “vocation” or “calling” into either a trap for those of us who know we are imperfect, or an elite game for only certain kinds of people. If the idea of Transformative Storytelling as a Way of Life calls to you, I urge you to listen to what Brian has to say.
From Brian Ammons: Heeding the Call: Vocation and Transformative Storytelling - the opening night keynote from this year’s Porch Gathering (we’ll be announcing details of next year’s Gathering soon, but you can save the date now: March 13th-16th, 2025; near Asheville, NC).
