We engage the research-based and high performing Story Bridge method to empower social transformation and regenerate communities from within. Facilitated by our team of esteemed artists and scholars, Story Bridge elevates personal stories into awe-inspiring artistic experience, in the process  engaging deep dialogue, enabling authentic relationship building, catalyzing collective transformation, and build Beloved Community. 

Play-in-a-Day Workshop

 The "Play-in-a-Day" workshop is a powerful way to bring diverse people together and build a committed group to jump start change campaigns. Organizations and communities use Play-in-a-Day to address focused issues such as affordable housing, racial reconciliation, etc. Evaluation data shows Story Bridge workshops are highly effective in  enabling deep bonding, open collaboration and real action.
