James Navé here, welcoming you back to Twice 5 Miles Radio. Today, we're diving into an enriching conversation with my good friend, story-activist, and prolific author, Gareth Higgins. My connection with Gareth started during a film festival in Asheville—a project he co-produced with his husband Brian called Movies and Meaning. This festival, a blend of cinema and deeper insights, drew me in because, like Gareth, I'm interested in understanding the meaning of things, and I've always loved going to the movies.

Gareth, hailing from Belfast in 1975, has woven his rich experiences growing up during the tumultuous times of the Northern Ireland Troubles into his life's work. He holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from Queen's University Belfast. Gareth's journey from Belfast to the US has been marked by his commitment to storytelling's transformative power, peace-building, and addressing the legacies of conflict. Our discussions often meander through the realms of optimism, the profound acts of kindness humans are capable of, to the darker shades of suffering and fear wars bring.

Gareth brings a wealth of insights on living by the principle of "Do No Harm." His life, marked by a dedication to creating spaces where stories foster peace and understanding, invites us to look beyond our fears. Join us as Gareth Higgins shares his journey, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to making the world less frightening. Enjoy the show

Provocative Conversations from Twice 5 Miles Radio is a podcast devoted to candid, often surprising exchanges with artists, thinkers, and cultural instigators who speak from the core. Each episode dives beneath the surface to explore the stories and questions that shape our lives.

I’m James Navé—poet, storyteller, educator, and longtime creative collaborator. With an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and decades of teaching experience across the globe, I help writers and performers tap into their authentic voices through public speaking, creative writing, and the Imaginative Storm method, which I co-developed with Allegra Huston.

My most recent book, 100 Days: A Poetic Memoir After Cancer (3: A Taos Press), documents a hundred days of healing and poetic reckoning. I’m also co-author of Write What You Don’t Know and How to Read for an Audience—practical guides for anyone seeking to speak and write with more truth and power.

I’ve directed festivals, hosted literary salons, taught with Julia Cameron, and memorized over 600 poems. I still believe in the power of a well-told story, the light through stained glass, and the open road with nothing but a podcast and a windshield full of stars.
