The Porch helps co-create a more peaceful world through learning and sharing a better story, as individuals and in community.

We publish an online magazine and host events, festivals, and retreats in the US and Ireland.
Much of our in-person work is led by our co-founders Irish writer, storyteller and activist Gareth Higgins and US American spiritual director, writer and activist Brian Ammons, with support from a small team of experienced peace builders, storytellers, and facilitators.

The following questions are posed as part of our discernment about the next stage in our evolution, and we're sincerely grateful for your help in this process.
