Join us for a comprehensive 4-session storytelling workshop, where you'll discover that storytelling isn't just about speaking—it's an art form with endless applications. When you tell a story, you paint with words, sculpt emotions, and compose experiences that linger long after the telling.

Over the course of four weeks, storytellers of all levels will be guided through the entire story-crafting process—transforming flat, everyday experience into captivating narratives that bridge connections! This process has many steps, but your instructor will guide you through structured exercises, gripping examples, supportive feedback, and a proven framework.

You will actively craft, share, and refine 4+ stories throughout the class, receiving personalized feedback in a collaborative workshop setting. Each session will build on top of the last, allowing you to master a powerful, lifelong skill in just four focused sessions.

Whether you're a traditional artist looking to craft richer narratives within your work, a professional aiming to elevate your presentations, or simply someone who wants to share more compelling stories, this class will help you bring your stories to life!

By the end of the class, you'll walk away with at least four polished stories, plus a powerful framework to craft countless more! No prior experience is required—just bring an open mind, a notebook, and a pen for in-class exercises.

WHEN: Saturdays, March 7-28, 2026 11 - 12:30 PM
