Growing our community with stories
We are all storytellers. We all live in a network of stories.
There isn't a stronger connection between people than storytelling.
- Jimmy Niel Smith
Nimbin Storytellers is a place for people to come together and share a true personal story about something that, in some big or small way, has shaped who they are today.
The stories being shared are witty and light-hearted, tender and sad, inspiring and uplifting. The atmosphere is supportive and warm. We see that, despite our differences, everyone is trying their best to weave their way through this world. And once again we discover our similarities and uniqueness.
Through this ancient ritual of storytelling, that is both modern and timeless, we find a connection with one another that feels essential and life affirming.
Story Group
Story Group is a great casual morning where we tease out our story ideas over a coffee. We hold these monthly groups as a way for people to prep and workshop their stories for our bimonthly Storytelling Nights and for newcomers to get a feel for oral storytelling. There is never any pressure to tell a story until you feel ready.
Come along to learn more about us or to test the waters with a friendly, supportive group of local storytellers.
We meet on the third Sunday of the month at the Nimbin Bush Theatre Café.
Next Story Group is on Sunday, 19 Nov, 10am-12pm.
All are welcome.
