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 leave full to the brim knowing that, despite our differences, everyone is trying their best to weave their way through the world. 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 workshop our story ideas over a coffee. 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 in Nimbin (contact us or see Facebook for when & where).
All are welcome.
