Story Wise Women - Spring Equinox 2021

The venue for this event will be online.

A True, Personal Storytelling Night

for Women 

21 Sept, 2021

7.30pm – 9.30pm

Women’s experiences are different, how we see the world, how we are treated in the world and how we make sense of the world are unique and diverse.

Women’s stories are not heard as loudly, as often, as seriously or as humourously as they could be.

Women need space and time to tell, to be heard, to listen and connect through sharing our experiences, through our crafted stories. We need to make sense of our lives in a way that brings peace and hope to the events that have shaped us, as we then in turn shape them into a story. We then give this as part gift part message to our audience and know ourselves in a deeper way.

This is an open opportunity for a handful of women to tell a 5 – 10 minute true story – no notes, it happened to you, and for the rest of us to listen. There is no obligation to tell a story, in fact listeners are needed just as much as tellers.

You can buy a meal beforehand and drinks at the bar then settle in, and let the stories begin. See the Story Wise Women webpage for more information, including Frequently Asked Questions.

 Theme: Frank

Tell us about a time when frankly spoken words surprised or shocked, delighted or dismayed. Tell us about the terror and satisfaction of speaking your truth with the refreshing flavours of openness and honesty. Or tell us a story about a time when no one was willing to say what they truly thought, and the consequences of muted messaging. Tell us about the person (maybe it's you?) who cannot help but tell it how it is; who offered frankness when diplomacy was called for, or tough love honesty when others trembled to speak. Then again, maybe you can share a tale about Frank or Frankie, the guy or gal (or magazine), that rolled into your life and left a story. Tell us a story straight, up front, direct and unadorned as it appears in your mind eye, walk into the eye of the truth and share.

Stories with no connection to the theme are welcome too!!
