“Newstories works alongside people, communities, and organizations to build capacity for meaningful transformation-especially in times of disruption and uncertainty. Using a practice we call re-storying, we support people in reimagining their lives, relationships, and communities, and in creating the structures and patterns needed to bring those visions to life. Whether sparked by natural disasters, illness, conflict, or systemic breakdowns, this work invites a fundamental shift in how we see ourselves and our world-spanning personal healing, community renewal, and organizational evolution.”

“Newstories offers learning opportunities and consulting services that help individuals, organizations, and communities re-story-gaining clarity about the nature of these times and developing regenerative responses to the ongoing turbulence we face. Through re-storying processes, we support people in growing their adaptive capacity and enhancing leadership at every level of system engagement. In addition to this hands-on work, we actively publish writings and share program-specific insights to further illuminate pathways for transformational change. Including: 1. Illumination and communication: recognizing that storytelling is central to the work of re-storying, we launched a newly designed website and began building robust illumination practices and platforms to support individuals seeking tools, inspiration, and resources for transformational leadership. To guide this next chapter of communications, we welcomed a new communications director to our team. 2. Systems change consulting: we continued our three-year partnership with the missouri foundation for health to co-create a 20-year food justice initiative in missouri. To support this work, we developed principles- guided co-creation-a foundational methodology for navigating complex, long-term systems change. This approach offers a model to support people working together toward deep collective transformation. 3. Learning experiences: newstories continued its commitment to online learning, offering seminars and workshops that support participants in re- storying at the personal, organizational, and community levels-equipping them with the tools and mindsets needed for regenerative futures. 4. Transform media: we launched transform media, a new initiative for learning and publishing that amplifies the wisdom of master practitioners from around the world-leaders with decades of experience in community regeneration and transformational change.”

“We deepened our capacities for working with people and communities who recognize that this is a time for profound, transformative change. As climate, social, and economic disruptions intensify across the u.s. And around the world, newstories is accompanying those who are ready to reimagine and regenerate in the face of adversity. We have worked with others to cocreate a bioregional community regeneration collaboratory in northern california and have started to lay the groundwork for a new network of bioregional community regeneration collaboratories. Additionally we developed an entirely new newstories website to share principles, practices and stories about how to restory for regenerative futures. A new great transition stories website is under development as well, with an expected launch in 2025. D learning. Program highlights in this area: 1. Great transition stories: we are preparing to launch a fully redesigned great transition stories website. In the midst of today's polycrisis, this platform will offer a vital reminder: humanity has long held the capacity to transform hardship into hope, and to birth possibility from adversity. 2. Regenerative response bioregional community collaboration networks: newstories continues to walk alongside communities recovering from wildfires and other disasters. In the past year, this included work in northern california, british columbia, brazil, japan, and eastern washington. We are also co-developing a new model-fire-affected communities collaboratories-starting in northern california, with plans to expand to other regions.”
