Community regeneration focuses on reviving and strengthening an area’s social, economic and cultural health. This half-day workshop reveals how inclusive stories-telling leads to transformation. Through examples, dialogue and visioning, Dr. Ronald Pate leads participants out of ‘default-mode’ storytelling, showing how a clear and resonant storyline inspires new vision and action. 

Dr. Ronald Pate is an author, educator, and facilitator-guide whose work in community development and urban planning integrates narrative processes with interdisciplinary research and spiritual insight. Holding a PhD in Urban Studies and Planning (Portland State University), and a master’s in American studies (University of Alabama), along with graduate theological studies, Pate is known for his pioneering research on a broadly transformative community building project in Georgia. His facilitation of stories-telling with groups continues to foster collaborative vision and sustainable outcomes.
