PILLAR 02 · STORYTELLING
Stories that make another future imaginable
A national online home for stories, curated resources, a directory of people and organizations doing aligned work, and more.
What we as a society are capable of building depends, in part, on the stories we encounter: about who we are, what is possible, and what constitutes a good life.
WHY STORIES
The stories we breathe in and out shape our world
When public discourse is saturated by narratives of division and scarcity, our collective hope, and our moral imagination for what’s possible, becomes constrained.
Stories that illuminate discovery, awe and wonder, and solidarity can, over time, form a living archive of possibility: helping practitioners learn from one another, helping funders recognize emerging patterns, and helping the broader public encounter alternatives to dominant narratives of distress.
WHAT WE ARE BUILDING
A national online home
In our first one to three years, we are creating a national, online platform for the field, a podcast, and a postcard exchange.
Stories
Stories of Love in action, from coast-to-coast-to-coast, gathered over time into a living archive of possibility.
Curated resources
Books, reports, articles, and practices for cultivating a living connection to Love, for self, team, and systems change.
A national directory
A directory of people and organizations involved in spiritual solutions, so aligned beings can find one another and connect.
A PODCAST
Diary of a Philanthropist
Learn how to give.
Meet the people who do.
Explore the Love behind it all.
From CEOs to homemakers: intimate conversations on who gives and why, how you can begin or deepen your philanthropy journey, the personal stories that bend the arc toward Love, and a wish for humanity, seven-centuries from now.
WE NEED TO CELEBRATE PRESENT TRUTHS
"This does not mean that we retreat from suffering or refuse to name injustice. It is rather a commitment to wholeness: recognizing that the present already holds countless
living projects of Love."
ROOTED IN OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
Where this pillar answers what we heard
Storytelling responds directly to these recommendations from our position paper:
Love, Systems, Philanthropy.
Know a story of Love in action?
We would love to hear it. Tell us about a person, community, or practice
that animates Love where you live.
