STORYTELLING
We believe that honest human stories are at the foundation of meaningful relationships. They have the power to break down our barriers to connection. Research has shown that a well-told, engaging story creates "neural entrainment". The listeners and speaker's brains become synced, creating space for genuine, connective communication.
Through the art of storytelling, we hope to create a society that values inclusion and belonging.
Our Method:
-
Identify a topic or question
