SouthBay Storytellers and Listeners
Weaving our stories into the tapestry of life
Keeping the *living* tradition of oral narrative alive in the South Bay
SouthBay Storytellers and Listeners is a community dedicated to the art of the spoken word. All story genres welcome from personal stories to folk tales and more. We provide a warm, supportive space for storytellers to share their craft and for listeners to connect through the power of shared human experience.
Storytelling
The most ancient social media — bringing people together to share human connection.
The Art of *Listening*
We believe that storytelling is a two-way street. Our group emphasizes the importance of the listener, creating an atmosphere where the speaker feels safe to explore their narrative and the audience is fully present.
Whether you are a seasoned performer or someone who has never told a story in public, you will find a welcoming home here. Join us for our next gathering and discover the magic of a well-told tale.
