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.
