Name: A Story Circle

Come join for an intimate small group gathering where you'll have the opportunity to meaningfully connect with others through storytelling. Story Circles include 6-8 people who gather and share true stories on a common theme from their own lives. Collectively, the group explores what can be learned from the stories together that would be harder to understand from any particular story alone. Theme description: What’s in a name? What does it mean to name, rename, or learn the name of something or someone? Tell us the story of your (nick)name and why it suits you or is a thorn in your side. Recount the tale of clearing your name, becoming a household name, or desperately trying to make a name for yourself. What was it like for you to name your dog, child, truth, or a newly discovered species of moth? Share about the time when you finally figured out how you wanted to respond when people mispronounced your name. Tell the story about renaming yourself, a school, or your experience. How did your understanding or way of being change when you learned the name of a local plant, your neighbor, or that concept, category, or health condition that brought your life into clearer focus? Name your poison! Light refreshments are included.
