Summary

In this episode of Curiously, Ericka sits with Reverend Father Will Parker and explores how improv can become a spiritual practice. What begins as a conversation about creativity opens into something deeper about listening, presence, and the way we learn to love each other in real time. Along the way, Will shares about grief, mental health, and the experiences that shaped his path to priesthood. Together, they hold a simple but meaningful idea. That maybe the work is to show up, pay attention, and respond honestly to what is in front of us.
