Welcome back to the Collaborative Storytelling Café! Today, we continue to exchange stories with fellow story practitioner, narrative therapist, and artist Yannis Angelis. Yannis is the co-author of Transforming Organizations and Beyond Storytelling, two books on how to work with story-based approaches for individual growth, community building, and organizational change and transformation. He is also a scientific coordinator at the Narrative Therapy and Community Work Institute in Greece. Yannis co-founded Beyond Storytelling, a global network of story practitioners who work with narrative approaches as a transformational catalyst for leadership, learning, change, communication, and community building.

In this episode, we’ll transition to the topic of story as an intervention and the Narrative Walks, an initiative designed by Yannis that consists of a series of interactive, online workshops that address learning issues. Yannis will tell us how the Narrative Walks came to be including the metaphor of walking. We’ll also discuss Yannis’ last Narrative Walk with Mary Alice Arthur including metaphors of war, using the current war as a metaphor, and the importance of nurturing hopeful stories. Last but not least, we’ll talk about listening to be listened to and listening unconditionally. We encourage you to keep listening to hear more from Yannis Angelis.

Welcome back to the Collaborative Storytelling Café! Today, we are joined by Yannis Angelis, a fellow story practitioner, a narrative therapist, and an artist.

In this episode, we’ll exchange stories on what it means to script and unscript our own stories in relation to other people as well as what is happening in the world around us. Yannis will speak with us about how the pandemic has unscripted us in many ways but also how we don’t need a pandemic to discover new parts of our identity. Besides this, we’ll also discuss vulnerability in sharing our stories, specifically in this time of war when we’ve all had to come to terms with the fragility of being human. Last but not least, we’ll chat about scripting and unscripting our memories, history, and timelines as Yannis shares his path to stories and storytelling. Keep listening to hear how storytelling comes in and comes out during important times in Yannis’ life.
