Two-session series June 17 and 24, 2026

The stories of our lives are sometimes about significant events and heroic struggles, but can also be about unexpected awakenings in the course of an ordinary day. This workshop series provides fun, engaging creativity-generating exercises that help discover the stories that lie in true, lived experiences, and a step-by-step guide to crafting them to be shared out loud. We will look at ordinary and extraordinary life experiences through the storytelling lens, and apply the tools of story development to discover different approaches to sharing them. This can be an opportunity to work on a story you already have in mind and share different drafts to a supportive group, or discover a new one through this experiential group.
