305: Benjamin Hunter and Telling a Great Story

This week's discussion introduces our very special guest star, Benjamin Hunter!  Ben has an incredible CV, from making LDS church history by singing solo at General Conference, his starring roles in the British and Nauvoo Pageants, his private musical performances for Prophets and Apostles to name only a few highlights.  We've wanted to catch up with Ben for a long time to ask him about the story behind his faith transition. How has becoming a husband and father changed his perspective on life as a latter-day saint, and how much of his experience of serving a mission in Europe has prompted his decision to resign his membership?   We invite you to join us for a funny, and painful and honest discussion about why so many young people are choosing to leave.   Content Warning:  This episode feature frank discussions around sexual development and potentially damaging policies. We discuss ecclesiastical abuse and talk openly about mental health, suicidal ideation and self harm.    If you have been affected by any of these issues you can find help and support at www.samaritans.org--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jane-christie/message

041:Benjamin Hunter Part 1: The Unexpected Spiritual Reformation

Today we have with us Benjamin Hunter discussing curiosity, flow, alchemy and music.Learning Matters series on convening methodologies for holding space for hope, healing and restoration.Benjamin has been busy cross pollinating multiple artistic disciplines for more than a decade, the Seattle based polymath and multi-instrumentalist has dedicated his life to transforming the world’s stale status quo into a vibrant, inclusive, communal, and compassionate society.  Hunter’s first tool was the violin accompanying him on laps around the world. Playing since age 5, he was fortunate to travel the world and absorb various musical styles at a young age. Receiving his degree in Performance Violin, with keen interest in politics and philosophy, Hunter set his sights on the intersection between art, community, and a rapidly evolving clash of culture. Touring with his band mate Joe Seamons in the internationally acclaimed, award-winning blues duo, Ben Hunter &amp; Joe Seamons, Hunter’s stirring instrumentation and timbre brought tales of the slave trade, reconstruction, racial reconciliation, and America’s still broken promises to the uninclined.​Seeking to formalize the education he received in school and delivered in music venues across the world, Hunter then founded Community Arts Create. In a time when music and arts education is being surgically extracted from school curriculums, the non-profit seeks to create space and opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to engage with their individual and collective creative identities, using that as a lens to view their connection with social justice.  However, schools only provided a temporary sanctum for Hunter’s gospel of changing the world through art. He needed a headquarters that existed for the sole purpose of bridging divides, filling knowledge gaps, and fostering a community around those ideals. ​The Hillman City Collaboratory was soon formed. Housed in South Seattle’s Hillman City neighborhood, the “social incubator” has brought and maintained camaraderie, inclusiveness, education, and social wellbeing to the residents in and around an area that is seeing rapid shifts due to unrelenting displacement. His ultimate wish is to inspire a Collaboratory in every underserved community in the nation, showcasing the collective might of community members defying precarious economic circumstances through creativity, engagement, and dialogue.  That still wasn't enough for Hunter, and in 2016 he co-founded the Black &amp; Tan Hall, a co-operatively owned restaurant and performing arts venue, shifting the for-profit paradigm to an alternative platform that is hyper-local, built by and for people rooted in community, and serves as an anti-gentrification model that combats displacement and sustains good jobs.  More specifically, B&amp;TH supports and elevates arts that give voice, agency, and power to those too often ignored. A place where art and the artists are dignified, valued, and heard!   To find out more about Benjamin’s work, check out: www.benjaminhuntermusic.comCommunity Arts Create collective educationHillman City Collaboratory social incubatorBlack &amp; Tan Hall co-operatively owned restaurant and performing arts venueSupport the show
