Story Jams are informal gatherings for adults who love telling stories, listening to stories and sharing stories. Each month there is a suggested theme to get your creative juices flowing, but stories unrelated to the theme can be shared too. Stories are limited to 10 minutes or less to ensure that we hear lots of them!
