Paradise, California

In the year after the Camp Fire destroyed Paradise, California, and other communities on the Ridge on November 8, 2018, NewStories spent a week every month listening to people’s stories, and inviting people into connection and explorations with each other. By the end of 2019, we joined with local leaders to create a new nonprofit—Regenerating Paradise—to Re-Story what was now possible in Paradise and to continue to rebuild the social fabric that connects us. We used many of the NewStories principles to help local leaders imagine how to Re-Pattern & Re-Structure for a more regenerative future. As consultants, connectors, designers and facilitators for community convening, we helped people find a way forward.
