The Karuna Process

From the first conversation with us to an archive in your hands in just six steps.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We meet you. We learn whose life this is — yours, or someone you love — and what you hope the archive to hold.

  2. 02

    Prepare

    We research together. We gather old photographs, audio and video from wherever they've been sitting, and we design questions written for that life alone.

  3. 03

    Capture

    A professionally captured conversation, in a place where they feel at ease, facilitated by a family member or a Karuna facilitator. This sitting becomes the heart of the archive — we film, we listen, and we don't rush.

  4. 04

    Craft

    We shape the sitting into an intimate documentary episode, a full transcript, restored photographs and the keepsakes that sit beside the film in the collection.

  5. 05

    Preserve

    The archive is secured — organised, backed up, and handed to you in a form you can actually keep, share, and add to over time.

  6. 06

    Celebrate

    We deliver the collection together. Then we help you keep telling it — as life continues and new chapters arrive in the archive.

The hardest part is asking the first question. We ask it for you.
