Time and again, we’ve seen what happens when people gather around possibility, rather than problems; when people gather around stories. Women factory workers realize they hold more power and agency than previously thought. Leadership teams find shared meaning in telling their organization’s evolution story. Staff teams use story to recognize collective values and design innovative programs. And community members begin to appreciate neighbors’ perspectives after hearing their stories.

We believe that story has the power to spark empathy, strengthen collaboration, and open new possibilities.

At Flame Tree Story, we help people and organizations connect through story. Our work spans storytelling events, possibility-focused workshops, and strategic advisory services that center participation, learning, and imagination. Each offering is designed to meet people where they are, and help them build bridges toward shared understanding and collective growth.

We bring decades of global experience in gender equality and violence prevention, health policy and systems strengthening, and participatory action research to our facilitation and consulting efforts. What unites everything we do is our conviction that connection is both the means and the outcome of meaningful transformation.
