Presented by Side Porch Stories, this course welcomes anyone interested in storytelling—no writing or performance experience required. Through guided reflection, skill-building exercises, and story practice, participants will craft their own personal narratives while learning to lead story circles in their communities.

Enrollment is limited to 15 participants, ensuring an intimate, supportive environment. Each attendee will leave the program with a polished story, a deeper understanding of storytelling elements, and a toolkit to foster meaningful conversations within their circles of influence.

This workshop series is part of a growing movement in Northern Colorado to use storytelling as a tool for connection, empathy, and community leadership—reminding us that every voice has power, and every story matters.
