What is Mindworks Chat?

Mindworks Chat (MC) is a dynamic, real-time conversation space that aims to foster engaging discussions and exchanges within our narrative community. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just beginning your narrative journey, MC is a place for learning, sharing insights, and connecting with fellow narrative enthusiasts. 

How Does Mindworks Chat Work?

• You and all members will receive invitations at least one week before the scheduled meeting.
• The topic and article, text, or media link, is directly provided in the invitation. Take a moment to review the selection.
• Each month we’ll invite two or three Narrative Mindworks members with relevant experience to serve as panelists to kick off the discussion by presenting their insights and interpretations of the selected piece. They may summarize the content, highlight significant points, or raise questions or challenges posed by the piece.
• Our MC moderator will then open the discussion for participants to share their opinions, views and contribute to the dialogue.
