Personal Storytelling Workshop

This interactive workshop will help you tap into your creativity as we dive into the art of storytelling. Whether you're a seasoned storyteller or just starting out, this workshop is perfect for anyone looking to enhance their skills and connect with others who share a passion for storytelling.

Perfect for creatives, community builders, job seekers, storytelling enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to feel more confident while speaking, whether that's at a networking event or in front of an audience.

You'll bring your stories to life in a supportive and inspiring environment. We'll do generative storytelling exercises where you'll surprise yourself with the creative perspectives you share. You'll have the chance to get to know other Seattle storytellers and practice sharing your own stories.

See you there!
