Community Storytelling Circles

A conversation series honoring ordinary people living extraordinary lives.

Storytelling Circles are what brought us together online during pandemic times. We offered the "Extraordinary Lives of Ordinary People" series as a way to build community, highlight a central theme, question, or creative product, and engage in dialogue inspired by community stories. Now, Storytelling Circles are woven into our other programming. This activity is perfect for low-stakes storytelling and sharing memories. We work closely with partner organizations and individuals to choose a theme and adapt the structure to fit your group. We are connected to a team of talented facilitators who can lead small groups. We can teach the structure to you so you can facilitate future circles on your own!
