This past weekend, we wrapped up our annual media summit, which focused on Restorative Narrative — a term that ivoh coined to describe stories that show how people and communities are making a meaningful progression from despair to resilience.

The summit attracted about 140 people from a variety of media sectors — journalism, documentary film, gaming, advertising, photography, and the arts. Attendees came from across the U.S. and about a dozen different countries. Together, we engaged in thoughtful dialogues about restorative narratives, community narratives, empathy, and resilience in storytelling.

Below are some photos from the retreat and summit. You can read more coverage here.
