About Event

Join us for another evening of authentic storytelling where community members share short personal narratives around an open theme. Whether you are looking to share your own story, hear others’, or just make some new friends, we welcome you with open arms. Not sure what this looks like? Check out some videos from The Moth.

The theme for this event is UNPLUGGED

Stories may explore moments of stepping away from the noise, disconnecting from the digital or the daily grind, and finding space to breathe. They might reflect on pulling the plug—literally or metaphorically—to rediscover what truly matters. From quiet retreats to bold rejections of the fast pace, from intimate connections made offline to unexpected clarity found in stillness, these tales celebrate the power of unplugging to reconnect with yourself, others, and the world around you.

How to participate

Storytellers of all levels (even newbies!)mare invited to participate, and free story coaching is available. Interested in telling a story? Register your interest through our Registration Form. Space is limited to 5 tellers
