These workshops will be held outdoors at a private residence, on a covered patio. There is ample space to spread out safely. Bathroom is available indoors.
VACCINATED FOLKS ONLY (No judgment on the unjabbed. Just want to make it super comfortable for everyone.)
Free and metered street parking readily available in the area. Brown line a two minute walk away.
It has been a long time since we could safely get together, face-to-face, to develop our stories and skills. These fun, work-intensive sessions are the perfect way to reintroduce yourself to in-person storytelling, knock off a little bit of the rust, start some creative juices flowing, and get back to creating and growing.
Ready to roll up your sleeves and have some fun while putting in a little work?
Each session will be a mix of exercises, conversation around topics chosen by the group, and sharing of useful tools and techniques to try out. Every session will also include the opportunity for each individual to share a story with the group and receive supportive coaching from the instructor and constructive feedback from the group.
Each session is a standalone workshop. You are welcome to join us for one, two, or all of them if you'd like.
Workshop size will be kept to 8 to insure that participants receive maximum individual attention.
