Drop into a Girlie Stories Gathering to join an instant community of womyn-identifying folks empowering themselves and each other via personal storytelling! 

Every last Saturday of the month, we'll check in with each other, experience some playtime with a community building activity, and then we'll share our stories! 

Please RSVP to [email protected] if you'll be in attendance. This month's theme is FIRE. Please email Johanna at [email protected] if you'd like to share a personal story based on this theme. Or just come to listen!

You are welcome to tell your story with or without notes. Girlie Stories believes that all of us have stories worth hearing and that all of us are storytellers! We welcome womyn with all levels of performance/writing experience, including none!

Come to tell a story or just to listen and share space with other womyn. Please bring a snack or drink to share.

$5 suggested donation or whatever you can afford, though all are welcome regardless of ability to pay and nobody will be turned away due to lack of funds.
