My Storytelling Journey
Antje Mahintorabi

"Stories are my life. They let me grow and experience, they teach and change me, they let me forget, they let me remember, and finally, they give me hope.
I saw the light of day in the shadows of the Berlin Wall. I spent my childhood wondering what was behind that massive pile of concrete separating my little East German hometown from the glorious West. And then it happened - only one year after I had turned 18 the wall tumbled to the ground.

Ruby Sinha's Storytelling Journey to India and Sri Lanka

"I was going to India for the first time after three years. I cannot tell you why I was so anxious, leaving my home in Canada. I knew exactly why I was going, but I was still very nervous."

Interview with Lorne Brown, Toronto

Who were your mentors in your growth as a story listener and later as a storyteller?
"[...] my father was a big influence on me in many, many ways, but certainly in the storytelling way. He could turn simple things into stories."

Elinor Benjamin: New Scotland welcomes Old Scotland –
Jess Smith and Séoras Macpherson visit


Was it really May 30, 2018 when I replied to a request from the Toronto Storytelling Festival to support their grant application to bring Scottish storytellers Jess Smith and Séoras Macpherson to Canada, by guaranteeing storytelling venues beyond Toronto? Going with my gut, I replied with a rash promise of serious funding from my own pocket for honoraria and the letter of support they needed immediately. How lucky I am to have a husband who remains calm, and, sometimes, even enthusiastic, when I do such daft things. I then told my colleagues at The Storytellers Circle of Halifax (SCoH). “All will be well,” I assured them, noting some panic. “We’ll put the kettle on, and figure it all out.” And we did.
