StoryTell 2/17: Platonic Love
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 "Platonic Love".
In a society that centers romantic love at the center, where have you found your platonic relationships to be a core anchor for you in your life? What does commitment look like in your deepest friendships? Share a moment when a friend proved they were in it for the long haul. When was a time a friendship outlasted a major life change: a move, breakup, or identity shift? When have you felt “chosen” by a friend in a way that mirrored or exceeded romantic commitment? Let's celebrate our deepest friend-loves together.
100% of proceeds will be donated to the Minneapolis Community Aid Network.
What to expect:
🗣️ Part conversation! We'll get intellectual in small group discussions, expanding on our deeper feelings, emotions, and perspectives around our theme.
