We create programs and products that use stories to bring together diverse individuals. With depth and fun, the process builds the skills for meaningful connections that expand perspectives about what is possible for ourselves, each other and the world. The Narrative Method offers award-winning, experiential programs and workshops that use stories to increase compassion, empathy, connect deeply and develop the skills to create more meaningful relationships. Workshops, classes, facilitator trainings and salons are designed for diverse populations including, universities, K-12 teachers, veterans, youth, homeless individuals and social service agencies that serve underserved populations. Compelling ideas, videos, relational activities, creative writing and thought-provoking conversations inspire participants to challenge harmful messages from the media and culture. Participants are empowered to broaden their perspectives and reclaim their stories. In 2018 TNM launched DIY Human with a studio in Santa Monica for live events, classes and trainings. The DIY Human Cards are being used by universities and K-12 schools nationally so that anyone can facilitate a meaningful group. * TNM is a group experience that uses stories to increase awareness, wonder and empathy. * TNM helps us connect deeply and develop meaningful relationships. * TNM creates a space for us to communicate authentically without the pressure to conform to arbitrary rules. * TNM gives us the tools to put ourselves aside, absorb new points of view and imagine the world through the eyes of another. * TNM gives us the opportunity to expand our tolerance for differences. * Through TNM we discover new perspectives about what may be possible for ourselves, others and the world.
