Gareth Higgins was born in Belfast in 1975, grew up during the northern Ireland Troubles, and now lives in the US. He writes and speaks about the power of storytelling to shape our lives and world, peace and making justice, and how to take life seriously without believing your own propaganda. He has been involved in peace-building and violence reduction in northern Ireland and helping address the legacy of conflict, received a Ph.D. in Sociology from Queen’s University Belfast, and helped teach the world’s first graduate course in Reconciliation Studies at Trinity College Dublin. He also helped found the Wild Goose, New Story and Movies & Meaning festivals. Gareth leads retreats in North America and Ireland; and he edits The Porch Magazine. He’s happy to be a work in progress. A note from Gareth: "Thank you so much for supporting my work - I try to offer as much as I can to folk on a pay-what-you-can-afford or a pro bono basis, so one-off or recurring contributions from this website can make a real difference and help enable me to do that. If I can help you with anything, don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks again."
