“The community that has been created is not just a place to share, and listen and support, but it is a place of inspiration. As individuals share, sparks ignite in a cold spirit, and a story that has been little more than an idea emerges.”
— Paul Armstrong, Founding Community Member

Our Vision
We envision a world where storytelling flourishes as a bridge between hearts and minds, where every person feels empowered to share their truth, and where communities everywhere are strengthened by the stories that connect us all.
“Such well-crafted tales.”
“I certainly enjoyed listening to the performance. I had to hold down the fort in the lobby but could hear each word very clearly down the stairwell. It was a true mark of the quality for your presenters to be able to audibly capture my/our audience’s attention with such well-crafted tales. Thank you for bringing your talented crew to our museum, and I look forward to future events with you as well!”
— Hunter Haskins, Assistant Museum Director, Salem Museum and Historical Society (2024)

“It is a place of inspiration.”
“When we first talked about starting an online group, I was interested in finding a place to practice telling stories with the hope of becoming proficient enough to perhaps do it publicly. This worked well for a time, until I ran out of stories that I was wanting to work on. Then I began to wonder if, when swap night came around, I had anything to offer. Sometimes I’ve thought, I have nothing so there’s no point in participating. Fighting off the urge to just skip the night I come to lend support to others. But there has been a pleasant surprise; the community that has been created is not just a place to share, and listen and support, but it is
a place of inspiration. As individuals share, sparks ignite in a cold spirit, and a story that has been little more than an idea emerges. I now understand why J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis would meet and discuss what they were working on, it sparked life within them.”
