She cites supporting studies conducted by psychologists Marshall Duke, Ph.D., and Robyn Fivush, Ph.D., at the Emory Center for Myth and Ritual in American Life, in Atlanta, Georgia. “They found that children—at ages 4, 14, 44 or 104, because we’re all children at heart—are more resilient and happy and rebound faster from stress when they know their family stories. They know they’re part of something that’s bigger than themselves that people in their family have kept going,” says Weitkamp. “When people leave a storytelling event, they leave telling stories,” she says with a smile, “and that results in happier and healthier families and communities.” Judith Fertig tells stories about food at AlfrescoFoodAndLifestyle.blogspot.com from Overland Park, KS.
filmreview Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago Director/Producer Lydia B. Smith Showing at: Quad Cinema 34 West 13th St, NYC June 6-12 500 miles on foot. Bunk-beds. Stunning landscapes. World-class snorers. Kindness from strangers. Spiritual transformation. By following the personal, unscripted journeys of six diverse pilgrims ages 3-73, Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago paints an authentic picture of the ancient spiritual pilgrimage in Spain known as the Camino de Santiago. Universal themes are presented by pilgrims who seek to redefine the way they live their lives, deepen their relationship with themselves, and rediscover their connection with the world in which they live. Out of such self-awareness inevitably emerges open-mindedness and selflessness, as pilgrims help each other reach the finish line. Generosity emerges in touching moments of kindness. The Camino is the great equalizer, where our differences become irrelevant and our similarities apparent. The Camino is often referred to as a ‘metaphor for life’ in that each person must determine and find their own way – what’s right for one may not be for another. Walking the Camino isn’t about getting people to walk the Camino; it is about encouraging and inspiring people to live out their true life’s purpose and calling. In the end, the audience leaves having had a Camino experience themselves: one of awakening to their unique spiritual calling in life. Although it is being self-distributed by a small non-profit with essentially no budget, it is one of the top ten grossing documentaries of 2014. Come see why this film is winning awards and selling out in theaters across the country. June 6-12 ONLY Quad Cinema. Q+As all screenings. Smith, a Camino veteran herself, is a Religious Science Practitioner trained at Agape & has been in the film industry for almost 30 years. Pre-order the DVD at www.caminodocumentary.org
