Storytelling Circles
Everyone has a story in them. But telling it in front of a room full of strangers, that can sometimes feel intimidating.
​
That's why I want to invite you to this friendly storytelling circle.
​
What is a storytelling circle?
​
This is an opportunity to share a story of something that happened to you and get immediate feedback from supportive, like-minded people.
The only rules about the storytelling circle are:
-
the story has to be yours to tell;
-
it should come from the scar rather than the open wound. This means if it still brings up bad feelings, maybe it's not ready to be told.
-
it should not be defamatory, incite racial hatred or support any kind of hate speech.
You don't have to bring a story. Maybe you'd just like to come along and see what it's all about. You are very welcome to do that. In fact, the more the merrier.
A small participation fee is charged to cover tea, coffee and treats as well as a donation to the women's library.

What is storytelling?
​
Storytelling is the social and cultural activity of sharing stories, sometimes with improvisation, theatrics, or embellishment. Every culture has its own stories or narratives, which are shared as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation or instilling moral values. If you're new to storytelling, I recommend checking out Mike Birbiglia and The Moth Hour on Youtube.
​
Where and when?

Saturday 5. April at 15:00 - 16:00

Everyone has a story in them. But telling personal stories may not come naturally to everyone.
In this three-part workshop for adults, you can learn how to tell a rich and personal story and bring audiences with you on the journey.

What should I bring with me?
​
Please bring a notebook and pen. You don't need to come with a story in mind. I will provide you with a story. Over the three days, I will take you step by step through the process of retelling an existing story, finding your own story and identifying the message.
There will also be plenty of games and group work so it is essential that participants can attend all 3 sessions.
​
When is it?
​
Normally, I run this 3-day workshop from Fridays to Sundays. I will publish the next dates shortly.
18:30-21:00 on Friday
15:00-19:00 on Saturday
11:00-17:00 on Sunday
​
To get the most out of the workshop, I strongly recommend participants attend all 3.
On the last day, there will be a chance for everyone to tell their own story in front of the group, if they feel comfortable.
​
Included in the participation fee is tea and coffee. You may also bring your own food and there will be refreshment breaks over the three days.
​
Because of space limitations, advance registration is compulsory. Participation is €80.
