Write the World
formerly Grey Zones

Write the World is an intergenerational space with a mission to explore how storytelling can facilitate nuanced engagement with the worlds around/within us.

In addition to regular posts with thought exercises and storytelling prompts, Write the World subscribers gather online every other month for two hours of shared creativity. Each gathering is led by a different member of the collective, who are storytellers from all over the world. These sessions go beyond writing; they are about:

- Meeting kindred spirits from places as far apart as Greece, Singapore, India, Trinidad, Kenya, the US, and the UK.
- Discovering how to hold space for others: skills that will serve you in teaching, facilitation, or any community-driven work.
- Playing with new ways to tell stories while being rooted in noticing and responding to what’s happening in the world right now.
