Storying a Bright Future – Workshop

Join BrightFlame to vision our way to just, regenerative futures. Cognitive science shows we are wired for stories: it’s how we make sense of and navigate the world; it’s how we change the world. In this experiential workshop we’ll journey into that future, dive into details, and make visceral memories. We’ll share these futures to widen our views of what is possible. Applicable for writers and non-writers to tilt towards hope and action. Hope you’ll join us! You might like to bring something to write and draw on and with.
