The stories we tell and the stories we listen to shape our experience of the world…
At Narativ we recognise the power of storytelling as a tool for reflection and insight, as well as being the best way to connect and communicate. And for us listening always comes first. Listening is generative - it creates the space for words to be spoken.
Everybody has a story. This is a simple idea, yet experientially it is profound. How can we harness the power of both our listening and our stories to change the world we live in?
Narativ’s work is about creating spaces where people can explore stories from their lives: for advocacy, for leadership, for art - to connect, influence and inspire.

Narativ Story Circles are an informal gathering over Zoom, to listen to, and if you fancy, share a true story from your life.
No prep. Attendance is free.
30 DAYS TO TELL YOUR STORY
A month of guided practice in the art and science of telling your Story. You will get a daily email with a lesson from our methodology, an exercise to practise and a piece of wisdom about Storytelling and creativity. Dedicate some time each day, you choose how much, to building your story skills and the self-reflection that comes with story exploration.
The 30-days will culminate in a 90 minute online gathering of participants where stories will be shared.
Sign up to our newsletter and be the first to hear about upcoming storytelling sessions.
NEXT SESSION WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON

STORIES ARE A MNEMONIC DEVICE
We've all had the experience of remembering a STORY long after we were told it.
Stories paint pictures and we remember images more readily than ideas.
When you want them to remember, paint a picture, tell them a STORY.

"The main benefit for participants is their own sense of power. The strength they find in vulnerability and being really open when they share personal stories. Some people had tears in their eyes. They felt the impact their story had on others."
