Community Storytelling Workshop
Find your story. Tell it well.
An interactive, hands-on workshop where you'll learn the science of storytelling and the Moments Method®, our framework for finding the small, specific moments that carry the most meaning and shaping them into a story worth telling. After a short intro, you'll spend most of your time putting it to work, crafting and practicing your own story in pairs and small groups. A few participants will have the chance to share with the full room.
Whether you're shaping a college admissions essay, a career story, or something more personal, come ready to work on a story that matters to you, or come with an open mind and let one find you. These workshops are open to anyone at any stage of their storytelling journey.
What you'll leave with:
A clear, shaped story you can keep developing
A repeatable framework for finding and telling future stories
A place in a global community of storytellers
