World Mother Storytelling Project: Evolving Humanity Through Mother Storytelling, Awakening our Deep Connection to All Living Beings.


Listening & Storytelling

World Mother Storytelling Project is an educational organization and global movement that seeks to end violence in a gentle yet radical way: by teaching people how to tell and listen to stories about mothers. Both our individual mothers, and our collective mother: Mother

Our Method


Our Impact

Art Exhibitions & Live Performances

Many exhibitions and events have been born from World Mother Storytelling Project’s methodology. Some of these include Conduit, an immersive art & storytelling exhibition celebrating mothers.

Social Impact

Funded by the Department of State, we embarked on a pilot project to reduce gender-based violence in El Salvador. In partnership with local NGO Glasswing, World Mother created a guidebook and trained Salvadoran community workers to empower and uplift 9- to 18-year-old girls across the country.

Education

We believe in the importance of teaching our listening and storytelling methods to those of all ages through in school workshops and the development of our Educator’s Guide which serves as a learning tool for educators and students of all ages.

  • “At a moment of profound cultural and political divisions, the World Mother Storytelling Project has devised as tangible a creative intervention as they come. I can say, without reservation, that this is an effort that the world needs now. Very few stories in life are at once universal and wildly divergent—a mother’s story is one of them. It is one of the few life arenas that is shared by everyone, and yet also strangely obscured from our close attention. Mothers, at last, merit this.”
