This is an invitation to gather in circle in my home to share the stories that connect us. The stories that bring deep laughter. The stories that dissipate loneliness. The stories that excavate and heal. The stories that give life meaning.
Telling stories is being human together. We share stories to help one another remember who we are. What matters. We tell stories to weave our lives together. We tell stories to remember who we are. We tell stories for the pleasure of living.
The class will be 9 weeks. The first class will be instruction on how to construct a five-minute story.
After the introductory class, each week will offer a theme. Participants will have a week to prepare their story for sharing.
Themes may include:
