STORYLAB UNPLUGGED STORYTELLING - Overcoming

ABOUT

This STORYLAB Unplugged Storytelling Event will celebrate our ability to overcome.

We all have an incredible resilience to survive challenges and arrive on the other side stronger.

In all of us there is a story of OVERCOMING - a story that will inspire others.

STORYLAB Storytelling Events are an opportunity for people to connect and hear stories being told by seasoned storytellers.

Each storyteller will share a part of their life that has been a struggle, a stretch and had a significant impact on their lives.

Their ability to convey their story is because they have worked through and overcome their challenge and are able to release their story.

All with the hope that others may listen, learn and find strength to unlock their own story of overcoming.

We have four speakers whose lives have been transformed because of what they overcame, how they chose to process what happened and because of their ability to share what happened.

You will CONNECT with others, their stories and your story.

Something will IGNITE inside of the storyteller as they share and it will intern ignite something in you.

In living through their story - each storyteller has TRANSFORMED and so will you as it will have a profound effect on you after this event.

You will leave feeling inspired, empowered and touched - and will feel ready to RELEASE your story.

THE VENUE & PROGRAM

• We will then have some time for reflective comments, questions and personal insights that we got from the stories we heard.
