We want the people we love to be understood on their own terms, exactly the way they are.

And to give them the space, time and permission that is so rarely granted, to appreciate the voices and lives of those around us.

That’s why we started Folklory.

A Folklory asks someone to sit down and say things that often haven't been said out loud before. Agreeing to do that takes a real openness that we're always moved by.

Most people come to the call certain they won't have much to say, but often leave surprised by how much was there all along.

Our Folklorists will make you feel at home. They know which questions open a door and they're in no rush to fill a silence. All you have to do is show up as yourself.

People tend to walk away lighter and a little closer to whoever they came to speak about.

Thank you for trusting us with your stories.
