StoryTell 5/13: Mischief
Join StoryTell for an evening of connection through conversation and personal storytelling. We'll explore our perspectives, curiosities, and personal stories on the theme of "Mischief".
What's the most rebellious thing you did that, at the time, felt like a big deal? What's something you did as a kid that your parents never found out about? What's something you got away with? What would happen if they knew now? Tell a story about a time you got someone else in trouble for something you did. What's the most creative excuse you ever invented? Did it work? What’s behind the mischief — boredom, loneliness, power, love?
What to expect:
🗣️ Part conversation! We'll get intellectual in small group discussions, expanding on our deeper feelings, emotions, and perspectives around our theme.
Get inspired by this article: Is it Ever OK to Make a Little Mischief? from the New York Times
📖 Part storytelling! Feeling inspired by our conversation? Have a story to share? We'll be sharing true, personal stories based on an evolution you went through.
Stories are optional, open to anyone, and are limited to 5 minutes.
This is a low-stakes opportunity to share your story with a warm, open community in a "campfire stories" setting.
💖 All community. Come to build in-person relationships through vulnerability, courage, and shared experience. You'll meet new open-minded, curious friends through deeper, intentional connection.
