Through immersive, hands-on workshops held online and in-person, we guide people in sharing stories from their own lives ... as videos, story maps, and podcasts. Our team has decades of collective experience in performative and visual storytelling, trauma-informed facilitation, and community mental health promotion. Our close collaboration with partners and funders results in safe, culturally grounded projects that accommodate multiple languages and literacy levels and build local capacity for artistic practice and media production.
