Bridging people, ideas, and possibilities.
We are living through overlapping and interconnected challenges: climate change, biodiversity loss, mental health strain, housing and affordability. Technical solutions exist, yet change is not happening as anticipated.
Whole Story works with organizations, communities, and networks to navigate complexity together — creating pathways to listen, learn, and work across difference. The work is grounded in relationships of trust, reciprocity, and respect, and in the understanding that meaningful change emerges through practice, not prescription.
We support groups to orient themselves in complex contexts, build holistic capacity, and design conditions where healthier outcomes can emerge for people, communities, and the planet.
Knowledge lives in many places: within institutions and organizations, across disciplines and knowledge systems, in community, and in lived experience. Each holds a piece of the puzzle. Whole Story helps bring these perspectives into relationship so learning can happen, patterns can be noticed, and wiser action becomes possible.
Territorial Acknowledgement
Whole Story is based within the traditional territories of the Anishinaabe, Chonnonton, and Haudenosaunee peoples on lands within the Haldimand Treaty of 1784. We approach our work from a position of learning and humility, committed to building relationships of reciprocity and respect, and acknowledging the many sources of knowledge that guide our practice.
