We are officially launching our first events! First up, "The Story Exchange" is a guided storytelling experience that leads participants through a sharing of true stories to build meaningful, real-time encounters. Through prompt-based exchanges, participants step into the role of storyteller without the pressure of performing. Enjoy an evening meeting people and discovering connections on a thoughtfully crafted journey where stories light the way. "The Story Exchange" is Saturday, May 30 at 6:00pm at the Fold; we're intentionally limiting our tickets to cultivate a supportive atmosphere with energized interaction so get your free tickets today: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-story-exchange-an-interactive-storytelling-event-tickets-1988608129447?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true
