Open Mic Storytelling - Theme: re/birth - Tales of the Town August

Tales of the Town — August Edition

Theme: Birth/Rebirth

Share a story or witness one at Tales of the Town, a space where every voice has a place.

Real stories. Real people.

About This Event

Birth, when it all begins, and rebirth, when it all transforms and begins again. For our August edition, we’re creating space for stories of transformation, new beginnings, and radical creation. It’s about achievement, life, and being human together.

Our featured Storyteller, Deborah the Doula, will also share two stories related to the theme.

Tales of the Town is a live open mic storytelling night where people gather to share true stories or simply listen. You don’t have to be a storyteller. You don’t have to be confident. You don’t even have to speak. Listening is participation! 🫶

What This Space Is (and Isn’t)

This is:

• A non-performative storytelling space
• Rooted in respect, consent, and care
• A place to share or witness real human experiences

This is not:

• A place for fixing or feedback
• A performance or competition

The Theme: Birth & Rebirth

All re/birth stories are welcome! Here are some ideas to get you started:

• A new creation you dreamed up
• A baby story
• The end of a chapter in your life
• A discovery you made

Who This Event Is For

This night is for:

• People craving honest human connection
• Those wanting to use their voice gently
• Anyone who wants to listen and witness others

You are welcome whether you:

• Share a story
• Speak only a few words
• Or simply sit and listen

Community Agreements

To keep this space safe, we ask that everyone honors the following:

• We listen without interrupting
• We don’t fix, correct, or give feedback
• Stories shared here stay here
• We respect time and the courage it takes to speak
