Broadly, we speak of our work as storywork, facilitating conversations that matter utilizing embodied practices, images and stories to discern where are the next horizons toward which we choose to journey, in service to the irrepressible spirit of all life. In addition to our own work, newstories provides fiscal sponsorship for enterprises related to this primary mission.
