The experience

What to Expect

These are not lectures. They are spaces of practice where you work with your own stories, encounter others', and leave with something that has actually shifted.

INP workshops are built around the idea that narrative competence is developed through direct experience, not instruction. Each format creates conditions for genuine inquiry — where participants work with real situations, real tensions, and real questions.

Whether you join for a two-hour taster or a week-long intensive, the underlying intention is the same: to create the conditions where something can genuinely move.

Tasters
1–2 hour introductions. Free or low-cost. A way in before committing to more.
Workshops
1–3 day intensives. Deep dives into a specific theme, practice or challenge.
Intensives
Multi-day immersions. For those ready to go deeper into narrative practice.

At Work in the Ruins

A narrative practice of transition

The narratives that have held our societies together have become fragile. Those about progress, growth, and the direction of the future no longer provide a sense of direction. And you can feel it: in organizations, in political spheres, and in your own decisions. What happens when the narratives themselves turn to ruins?

At Work in the Ruins creates a framework for reflection and discussion on how we can maintain our own creative space in times of uncertainty and dying systems.

The Loft

All in-person workshops take place at The Loft — a light-filled, carefully curated space designed for the kind of work that requires presence, openness and room to move.
The Loft is not a conference room. It is a space that holds the quality of attention we're aiming for — intimate enough to allow genuine encounter, spacious enough to allow movement and thought.
