What We're About

Our traditional repositories of stories are under fire. There is a lack of trust and belief in education, law, the church, police, government, big business, and the media. Without this trust and belief, the social fabric becomes threadbare. New stories are needed, and they need to be created by those who understand how story does it work.

Our focus is to build understanding of the mechanisms behind how and why stories work. Using this understanding, we encourage responsible action and use of this understanding to conduct ethical narrative practices.

Our core focus is helping everyone explore how story works and how to work stories. We help participants decipher story codes and patterns to discover hidden meaning. We teach how to seek out the story ghosts in culture. We examine how public stories are scripted and shape our perceptions in hidden ways.

We give people a frame of mind, not a bag of tricks.
