What NewStories Does
NewStories works alongside people, communities, organizations, and networks navigating disruption and profound transition. In these moments—when familiar ways of organizing, leading, and responding no longer fit—what is needed is not only new ideas, but new ways of relating, learning, and acting together.
We strengthen the relational and narrative capacity that allows communities and institutions to move through disruption with coherence, dignity, and agency—supporting the emergence of regenerative futures.
Three Domains of Action
NewStories’ work is organized as a living ecosystem of practice—three interconnected domains, each grounded in real-world experience and shared learning.
Together, these domains form a continuous cycle of action, learning, and transformation—linking what happens in communities with what becomes visible across the field, and what is cultivated in people and organizations.
This includes place-based community work, cross-sector field building, storytelling and synthesis, and consulting and facilitation partnerships.
Re-Storying in Action
Systems-level change to strengthen collective capacity to navigate change with dignity, agency, creativity, and connection.
We work directly with communities and systems navigating rupture—supporting them to build the relational infrastructure needed to move forward together with agency and care.
Illuminating Emerging Futures
Making visible the patterns shaping this moment of transition. Through storytelling, synthesis, and pattern recognition, we surface what is emerging across contexts—helping people orient, learn, and act with greater coherence.
Cultivating Transformative Capacity
Accompanying leaders and organizations through practice-based change
We partner with organizations, networks, and foundations to support deep change—aligning purpose, relationships, and structures so new ways of working can take root.
NewStories Initiatives & Offerings
Across these domains, our work takes form through a set of interconnected initiatives and offerings—each contributing to a larger ecosystem of practice, learning, and transformation.
The initiatives and offerings nested within the NewStories Ecosystem currently include:
