Events

Each month, we host the Spadefoot Story Slam community, sharing stories based on a theme, selected at the previous month’s Slam. While inspired by the Moth Story Hour, our monthly meetings are not a contest, but instead are a way to come together and practice sharing, and deep listening.

Join us this month for stories on the theme, “A Swing and a Miss.” Have you ever gone for something, and watched it slip right through your fingers? Have you made the effort, and not made it anyway? Was it a whiff that lost the baseball game, a grand gesture to win someone’s heart that went all wrong? Maybe you almost made it to the store before they closed, or were the next in line for those concert tickets when the sign was flipped to “sold out.” When have you tried, and just not quite made it? These can be stories of disappointment or stories of serendipity – perhaps a mix of both! As always we encourage you to interpret the theme with creativity.

Stories should be true as remembered by you, and spoken from the heart, instead of read from the page. We don’t have an official time limit, but encourage stories that take 10 minutes or less, especially if we have a large group. We look forward to seeing you on August 16th at 6pm!
