“A dojo is a hall or place for immersive learning, experiential learning, or meditation. The term literally means the place of the Way in Japanese.” —Wikipedia

Narrative Academy is building 9 ‘lifelong learning’ dojos in the areas of writing, mindfulness, and creativity.

  • Take a look at what we’re planning below.

  • There’s a form at the bottom of this page where you can sign up to learn when we launch and share your feedback to shape our product direction.

  • Some programs will require a paid subscription. Others will be no cost. Some will be in the IRL. All will be accessible virtually.

  • We will launch each dojo once we have enough feedback—and a critical mass of participants—to create the best possible experience.

  • Launch status codes: 🟢 (launched), 🟡 (in-progress), 🔴 (paused)

  • Wisdom Dojo 🟡

    Learn how to ask better questions and build stronger connections with the people who you meet every day.

    Finance Sightings 🟡

    Gain perspective from visionaries building towards an inclusive financial system that represents human values.

    The Mondays 🟡

    Kick off your week with an insightful philsosophical perspective—blended with necessarily comic relief to start the week— produced in collaboration with Superstoke.

    AI Social Contract 🔴

    The introduction of AI into the social fabric represents a shift to our understanding of our own humanity—potentially invalidating hundreds of years of philosophical inquiry.

    The AI Social Contract is a living literature review repository of research, insights, and evolving perspectives on the ethical, societal, and governance frameworks shaping the responsible development of AI.

  • Mindful Writing 🟡

    Did you know? There’s inspiration to be gained from the ordinary things that people barely notice. Learn to see these hidden gems for yourself, write amazing stories about your experiences, and expand your perspectives by seeing through the lens of others. Sharpen your focus, unlock creativity, and bring more adventure to your life on planet Earth.

  • Beautiful Earth 🔴

    Climate adaptation and mitigation are the most important issues of our time. There’s no room to get it wrong. Beautiful Earth is a collection of short conversations with people doing the work to ensure a future for all living things, in the years ahead.

    Calibrate Your Consciousness 🟢

    Climate adaptation and mitigation are the most important issues of our time. There’s no room to get it wrong. Beautiful Earth is a collection of short conversations with people doing the work to ensure a future for all living things, in the years ahead.

  • Participate in artist showcases, creative writing workshops, and mindfulness trainings to help you chill out, constructively. We’ll also host expert roundtables, moderated discussions, and lunch & learns to advance your lifelong learning in your areas of professional focus.
