Some words from



The Initiator.



why storytelling?



Let me tell you a story...





Every man is an island.

In the midst of the infinite sea, every one of us is an island, a unique creature.


To navigate this sea of existence, if we want to survive, we must first explore the depths of our island, discovering the treasures within, shaping and experiencing our lifeworld.


This inner exploration is the keystone of our collective survival, a foundation laid before we venture out to neighbouring islands and build bridges of mutual trust and co-creation.


Angela Davis wisely reminds us that "Walls turned sideways are bridges," emphasizing the transformative power of perspective.


Within the infinite sea, there are countless other islands with which we can interact and co-exist.

We will be the hosts of some passing by islands. With others we will be the visitors. With few, we will urge close living together, forming deep, life-changing bonds.


Building strong and resilient bridges requires recognising our uniqueness and autonomy while walking parallel paths.

Each island has a unique treasure waiting to be discovered.


Storytelling is a powerful tool that allows us to celebrate our individuality and encourages us to build bridges rather than walls.


To connect with ourselves and others.


Taking a step into the unknown, embracing diversity and finding safety in the richness it brings - these steps forward are the keys to unlocking harmonious coexistence in the endless sea of life.
