Metaphora International

Story Mediation grew out of years of research and practice in collaborative storytelling, adult education, and organizational change.

It now lives through Metaphora International as a distinct professional practice and training journey for people working with groups and collective sensemaking.

A new Foundation Training cohort begins next month.

Stories emerge wherever people work and learn together.

Story Mediation offers a grounded practice for turning those stories into shared understanding — enabling authentic voices and helping people work better together.

Dear Metaphora Community,

As we know, stories naturally emerge in group work — moments of experience, learning, challenge, and change.

Story Mediation offers a grounded practice for working with those stories in ways that support shared understanding, authentic voices, and people working better together.

Metaphora International is opening registration for the next Story Mediation Foundation Training cohort beginning next month.

As Metaphora International enters its 10th year (est. 2015), we pause to express our gratitude to everyone who has walked, listened, learned, and collaborated with us along the way.

🌟To our community, we wish generative stories grounded in intention, courage, and joy. May the year ahead bring clarity, care, and connections that truly matter.🕊️❤️

Thank you for being part of this ongoing story.🙏

Dear community,

We’re opening a new 16-week cycle exploring The Biology of Story through our Story Mediation practice, which will be led by Paulo de Tarso Fonseca Silva

This journey invites participants to engage with Story as a living, collaborative force — writing, listening, telling, and exploring the narratives shaping their lives and work.

This cycle is designed for people who want to:
• develop narrative awareness and reflective practice
• reimagine their relationship with their own stories
• deepen leadership or facilitation skills
• engage in creative writing and embodied exploration
• join a supportive group committed to curiosity, connection, and growth

Sessions are online, weekly, and intentionally small to create space for real dialogue and community.
Our approach integrates Story Mediation, Collaborative Storytelling, and meaning-making practices to support personal and professional development.

📩 Learn more and sign up through the link below.

We look forward to welcoming new participants into this practice with Story.
