Where Stories are Met
Unscripted films that reveal what becomes visible when we pause and witness.
Each story holds a moment of lived experience—where something essential becomes visible when someone feels deeply witnessed. In that seeing, differences soften, common ground emerges, and conversation becomes possible.
Whether you watch alone or alongside others, may these stories offer a quiet threshold—into reflection, connection, and a deeper care for the world we share.
To journey through the full collection of Stories, explore our YouTube channel @SoulStoryWisdom, where thoughtfully curated playlists invite reflection on stewardship, end-of-life, resilience after diagnosis, belonging, grief and loss, along with a dedicated collection of films created for nonprofits.
Ode to our Grandchildren

A Latin American Tragedy
Lina de Guevara, originally from Chile, was an actor, drama teacher, theatre director, and storyteller. Since moving to Canada, she founded Puente Theatre in Victoria, BC.
As Lina says: “As storytellers, we sometimes face a dilemma. We have a story that wants to be told—but it is so tragic that we hardly dare to share it.”
