Facilitation & Convenings

Retreats, off-sites, and convenings are all-too-rare opportunities for teams and cohorts to come together to forge connections, align around vision and values, and build a beautiful future.

They deserve to be more than just another meeting. And It's incredibly difficult to design if for ourselves (believe me, I've tried).

The Story & Spirit process begins with listening deeply and working with you to develop a clear understanding of where you are and where you'd like to be by the end of the gathering. From there, we design an experience that weaves together elements including play, story, ritual, mindfulness exercises, imagination, collaboration and even some standard 'facilitation tools' like whiteboarding and sticky notes.

We always place your group and goals at the center of the process, acknowledging that any outcomes will be a natural expression of the unique combination of individuals engaged in the conversation. The deeper goal of any gathering, beyond explicit 'outputs' or deliverables, is to foster a sense of belonging and ensure that every voice and way-of-being has a place at the table.
