Explore your past. Shape your story. Inspire your community.

Presented by story coach and author, Mary Roberts, this 4-week course is for anyone who wants to tell true stories that matter—whether on the stage, on the page, in conversation, or in circles they create themselves. Through skill-building, guided reflection, story practice, and a toolkit for leading story circles, participants will leave with confidence in their voice and the power to help others share theirs.

No writing or performance experience needed—just a willingness to show up with curiosity and a little courage!

You will come away with:

· A solid understanding of storytelling elements

· Confidence in giving and receiving story feedback

· A toolkit to start their own community story circle

· A deeper connection to themselves and others
