Re-Storying for Regenerative Futures

What Does NewStories Do?

NewStories builds personal and community capacity for transformative action. By Re-Storying through a variety of methods, new possibilities unfold as people imagine and create the futures they desire.

NewStories supports change that makes things better right now and also change that open up space for the transformation of whole systems.

Donors support NewStories’ core operations, and clients pay for specific offerings, like consulting services for community development. NewStories’ business model is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves access to support and guidance, regardless of their financial resources and socioeconomic status. This model serves a diverse range of individuals and organizations while maintaining our commitment to accessibility and inclusivity.

Since 2000, NewStories has been privileged to support people in many places across this beautiful planet. While most of the NewStories Core Team lives on the West Coast of the US, our work has stretched globally across North America, from Japan to Zimbabwe, from Hawai‘i to the lands of the Cherokee Nation. Understanding the stories people tell themselves is core to understanding the world. Changing the world starts with changing your stories.

Re-Storying begins with supporting people as they listen deeply to themselves and others in their communities and organizations. The stories that emerge provide a guidance system for the future they want, and names the system changes that are needed. NewStories work continues as we support people in building prototypes to learn what’s needed, taking action, reflecting on what happens, and finding the next steps.

By building relationships, clarifying core values and principles, listening for emerging possibilities, developing strategies, and evaluating results, NewStories activates community capacity for transformation.
