Programs that get the whole room talking

Storytelling Workshops for Libraries and Senior Communities

We bring thoughtful prompts and a welcoming structure. Participants bring the stories, laughter, and moments that make the session memorable.

Programs built around real conversation

Topics can include family stories, funny memories, advice for younger generations, recipe stories, object stories, legacy letters, or the stories behind a lifetime of photographs.

Each session is structured enough to make participation easy and flexible enough to follow the room. Quieter participants can listen or write, and no one is put on the spot.

Laugh Lines

The funny one. An hour of the stories that still get the whole table laughing.

Not every legacy is solemn. This one goes straight for the funny stuff: the wedding that went sideways, the prank nobody’s been allowed to forget, the disaster dinner that somehow became everyone’s favorite. The people who swear they’ve got no stories always have a funny one, and the minute somebody starts, the whole room joins in.

Who it's for: Senior living communities, activity programs, and any group that wants a livelier session.
Format: About an hour. No writing, no pressure. Bring the room; we bring the prompts.

The Story Only You Can Tell

The one story nobody else can hand down — yours, in your own words.

Everyone assumes the good stories belong to somebody else, the relative who traveled or the one with the big career. This class starts from the opposite idea. The ordinary details of your own life are exactly the ones your family won’t be able to piece together later. We work through prompts that get past names and dates, then talk about how to actually keep what comes out.

Who it's for: Libraries and community groups. Open to anyone, no experience needed.
Format: About an hour. Come on your own, or bring a relative and try the prompts together.

Library classes are open to the public and free to attend. See upcoming dates on the Events page, or ask about bringing a class to your community.
