How do I get content to you to review? What's the process? Here's a little ditty I wrote that could be the beginning of an 'about us' page??

Why Group Narratives? We are social creatures by nature. We live in families, work in organizations, play on teams. Just about every aspect of our lives is in community in some way. Each of us brings our own history, experiences, and sense making to the stories that play in our heads as we go about our day. When we’re in community, our internal stories or narratives are shaped by our perception of others in the group and the group culture as a whole. Multiply our individual, unique stories about the group by each group member’s narrative of what’s happening and you have a complex stew of emotions, backstory, assumptions, and cultural norms that can sometimes leave groups in unhealthy, negative patterns. These negative patterns can stifle learning, creativity, collective growth, and individual fulfillment. We at Group Narratives believe that by applying tools like Appreciative Inquiry into conversations, raising individual awareness through a meditation practice, and ??, couples, families, organizations, and teams can recognize when their internal narratives shift toward fear and defensiveness and instead choose to trust in positive intentions and remain curious and open to learning from one another. Positive patterns of Group Narratives support shared understanding, discovering new information, and creative possibilities for action, which can catapult groups to higher performance and member satisfaction.

2 possible quotes that could go on this page - from Thich Nhat Hanh “Every one of us already has the seed of mindfulness. The practice is to cultivate it.”

“For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to be ready to abandon our views about them.”
