: Story of Place™
Through Story of Place™, we bring a place alive, capturing its essence, painting new possibilities for how to live in partnership, and growing a future of greater abundance and creativity for all life. An authentic story creates community, enabling us to see through the eyes of others. Such a story speaks to what a place can become, and how we can both contribute to and benefit from that future.
A compelling story becomes the meta-framework that, over the course of a project:
- enables different specialists to find their specific niche without losing sight of how their contribution serves the whole, and how it is co-dependent on the work of others
- ensures that sustainability goals and indicators for the parts (water, energy, etc.) are tied to the desired evolution of the whole
- builds a foundation of shared meaning and purpose that supports deep collaboration across old divides
