About Us

Narrative can be interpreted in a myriad of ways. Narrative practices commonly refer to the intentional use of language, story, and listening to shape and understand individual experiences, relationships, and identities. These practices, widely embraced in fields like narrative medicine, narrative based medicine, narrative healing, narrative care, narrative therapy, and oral history. Each of these practice areas may involve techniques such as reciprocal telling/listening, reflection, close reading, close listening and free writing, where individuals explore and reframe their personal narratives to create positive change and growth.

Narrative Mindworks serves as a leading international narrative practices hub where narrative thought leaders gather to continue advancing and elevating the people and fields of narrative practice. In narrative medicine, such practices are deeply intertwined with medical humanities, offering ways to integrate the art of storytelling and reflection into healthcare. Business training often includes corporate care and teaching students how to enrich understanding and improve outcomes among team members. By embracing health narratives, business narrative, and personal narratives these fields promote storytelling, a practice that helps convey meaning, foster connection, and deepen empathy-based care. Narrative medicine practices can significantly enhance communication skills for healthcare providers, patients, corporate communications and communities. They enable more effective actionable information sharing, dialogue, improved listening, and a clearer understanding of constituents, patients, providers, clients and employees needs and experiences. Narrative practices encompass various forms of storytelling (non-verbal, written, oral, and visual media) to express emotions and help us make sense of the world.

Narrative Mindworks champions these diverse practices providing a leading global platform for innovation, collaboration, and professional development within the narrative community.
