A live storytelling event for women in Bayside, Melbourne.
A place to share true stories of lived experiences, to speak and be witnessed, to listen and be entertained, and feel a deeper connection to our lives and each other.
This is an open invitation to share a true story
about something that happened to you,
spoken without notes,
within a time-limit of up to 10 minutes.
There's a theme to inspire, and all types of stories are welcome. Light and breezy, funny and uplifting, sad or unexpected, heavy and dark.
There's space for them all.
Very often in today’s world there isn’t acknowledgment for the things we’ve achieved or the road we’ve travelled. Sharing your story is a gift to the listeners, but also a gift to yourself. When we share our stories we validate our lives and who we are.
Where we’ve travelled.
Our history. Our humanity.
“Connection is the energy that exits between people when they feel seen, heard and valued.”
Story Night Themes
Each Story Night has a theme which is provided to inspire and help you find your story.
Next Event: Tuesday 10 March
Theme: HEART
Ever trusted your heart and thought, well… that escalated quickly? Or ignored it and wished you hadn’t?
Tell us a tale of moments that made your heart race, sink or crack open; the times you fought head vs heart battles; or times you followed your heart and got gloriously lost!
Share your experience of heartache, heartbreak or hearts mending. With open hearts, we’re ready to hear your true account of big love, quiet courage and bad decisions all made with the best of intentions.
The theme is provided to inspire but should never hold you back! If you have a story to share and it has no connection to the theme, you will be welcome to share it anyway.
Do I have to tell a story?
There's no requirement to tell a story, in fact, listeners are needed just as much as storytellers. Listeners have the important job of ‘holding’ storytellers as they speak.
If you would like to tell a story, simply ask to have your name added to the board upon arrival or reserve a place on the board by emailing me prior: karen@storynights.com.au
Due to the adult nature of the stories that may be shared, audience members are required to be 16 years of age or older.
