A welcome
Begin with an accessible memory such as a welcome that stayed with the speaker.
Listen without collecting
A story can remain with its speaker
Editorial images and anonymous roles help a group begin, listen, reflect and thank — with no recording, free-text field or family-history database.
Story Basket
Choose up to three editorial scenes for one listening sequence. The app does not ask who is speaking, what they said or whether the story should be published.
A shared object or skill
Move toward a handled object, a learned skill or a making process.
A closing image
End with a person, place or gesture that made room for others.
Memory Thread
Move through Invite, Listen, Reflect and Thank. Each phase makes passing, silence and non-publication legitimate choices.
Invite
Offer one clear prompt and an easy way to decline.
Listen
Leave space; do not correct, record or rush the speaker.
Reflect
Repeat only what the speaker is comfortable hearing back.
Thank
Close without requesting proof, publication or another story.
Generations Loom
Place anonymous roles around a shared activity — elder, adult host, young adult, teen and child with guardian — then decide with the real group who listens, shares, makes and supports.
No names
The loom neither identifies nor counts participants.
No youth profile
A child remains connected to a parent, guardian or authorised responsible adult.
No outcome score
The value is in a balanced role conversation, not a stored result.
