Learn the art of storytelling: Finding the Stories in Your Life

Everyone has a story to tell — what’s yours?

For those who love stories — or want to learn how to tell better ones, don’t miss the Coronado Public Library’s hands-on workshop series where you can Learn the Art of Storytelling. Starting February 5, this five-session series will return to the Library on consecutive Tuesday’s at 6:30 p.m. Our lives are filled with stories; this series will help you learn to cultivate and share them with friends, family, and more. Each session focuses on a different element of storytelling, helping you bring real experiences to life and connect with others through the power of story. Participants will have the chance to showcase their new skills at the San Diego Storytelling Festival on March 21.

Registration is requested for the February 3 introductory session. All other sessions are walk-in, no registration.

Feb. 3: “Finding the Stories in Your Life” with Marilyn McPhie.

Our lives are filled with stories! In this workshop we’ll dive into our memories — the people, the places, the triumphs, the disasters, the memorable moments — and emerge with stories worth sharing in family gatherings, business settings, podcasts, memoirs, on social media, onstage, and more.

Marilyn McPhie has been a professional storyteller since 1985, performing at schools, libraries, bookstores, museums, corporate and private events, and festivals around the country, including the Exchange Place at the National Storytelling Festival an the TEDx stage. Her stories are delivered with wit, wisdom and humor that delights, informs and entertains.
