Open Studio
Weekly Practice & Craft — Free
Open Studio is the drumbeat of HANA's public offerings, a weekly session to practice storytelling craft, explore the principles of story and attention, workshop material, stay accountable to a creative process, and connect with a community of motivated peers.
The workshop is dynamic—some weeks, a series of storytelling exercises and a study of the elements that make a given story work; some weeks, a live story feedback session with David Alder and one of HANA's fellows; some weeks a showcase of completed work.

Open Studio is a regular touchpoint with the story calling you, a step in wielding the power of your voice to shape the world.
Regular participants may choose to join as members, becoming patrons of the school and gaining access to content, community and courses, deepening their study of storytelling and finding support as they step toward greater moments in their work.
Stories for Life
Stories as Medicine
Stories are tools to make meaning of a shifting world. Tribes need wise, spiritually deep role models to learn what it means to live well.
Stories for Change
Stories move stuck energy inside of individuals, relationships, and the collective. When channeled, crafted, and shared, stories heal.
Stories are spells that shape the world. Sacred stories illuminate the path toward healing and manifest a transformed world.
