In this episode I connect with music psychotherapist Nsamu Moonga to explore how we can use artistic expression to create a society we know in our heart is possible.
We discuss how moving from person centered to monetary centered economies have affected our understanding of hospitality and our ability connect with others. We then highlight why it is difficult to have healthy conversations about men in the current name and shame approach that makes men feel defensive about their actions and hide their true opinions. Nsamu also challenges the limiting nature of the cognitive approach to men's interventions and suggests that we tap into African practices that we can draw upon such as gathering, storytelling, dancing in circles. Making a connection to older cultures and practices, we talk about how moving from an introspective and self conscious idea of who I am to a more creative, expressive and participatory nature of who we are, moves us from the idea of a separate self into a shared identity.
Nsamu Moonga, is a music psychotherapist, who uses music to access, work through, and resolve therapeutic issues by creating or listening to music with verbal discourse to guide, interpret, or enhance the music experience and its relevance to the client and therapeutic process. The therapeutic issue is accessed, worked through, and resolved through both musical and verbal experiences, occurring alternately or simultaneously. Music is used for its specific and unique qualities and is germane to the therapeutic issue and its treatment; words are used to identify and consolidate insights gained during the process.

If you have a first page you’d like to submit to the Page One Podcast, please do so here.
As an author and writing coach, I know that the first page of any book has to work so hard to do so much—hook the reader. So I thought to ask your favorite master storytellers how they do their magic to hook YOU.
After the first few episodes, it occurred to me that maybe someone listening might be curious how their first page sits with an audience, so I’m opening up Page One to any writer who wants to submit the first page of a book they’re currently writing.
If your page is chosen, you’ll be invited onto the show to read it and get live feedback from one of Page One’s master storytellers. Page One exists to inspire, celebrate and promote the work of both well-known and unknown creative talent.
You can listen to Page One on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, Stitcher and all your favorite podcast players.
