Our Story

Our bold vision is that creative expression, growth and meaning is available to us all at every stage of life, wherever we live and whatever our abilities.

Our evidence-based and award-winning methodology trains care partners to invite elders into meaningful and joyful expression using creative engagement.

Having trained thousands of people ourselves, we are taking 2025 to design and launch a Train the Trainer program.  After 2026, TimeSlips will focus solely on training trainers to offer our two evidence-based programs: 

1) Creative Communication – deepening connections with Beautiful Questions
WHO: Clinical teams, family caregivers, home-care workers, meal drivers, well-check callers, and volunteer friendly visitors. 

2) Our Classic, Creative, Improvisational Storytelling Training and Certification
WHO: Activity staff, teaching artists, memory cafe leaders, volunteers/students

We began with one volunteer in 1998, and became an independent non-profit in 2013.  Over our 25+ years, we trained many thousands of people and certified over 1,000 individuals and 100 organizations across the world. The Train the Trainer program will enable us to step toward our goal of making meaningful engagement standard practice in all care settings.
