Bring 1871 into the work you do with people.
1871 gives coaches, facilitators, trainers, leaders, educators, community groups, and other people-focused professionals an imaginative way to create conversation, reflection and discovery.
Through the stories, characters, questions and curious things of SageBrush Crossing, you can invite people to pause, explore what matters and see things from a different perspective.
Use a single question. Introduce a character. Build an activity around a story. Put something unexpected in the middle of the table and see where the conversation goes.
You bring your experience.
1871 gives you another way in.
SOMETIMES A STORY CAN GO WHERE A QUESTION CAN’T
A character facing a choice. An intriguing object. A story that feels strangely familiar. An unexpected question.
Sometimes giving people something else to explore creates more room to think about themselves.
They can agree, disagree, get curious or take the conversation somewhere neither of you expected.
The story opens the door.
What they find on the other side belongs to them.

It’s a storyworld to explore and draw from.
