Learn the art of storytelling: Shaping Your Story

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

The Storytellers of San Diego invite you to explore the art of sharing stories from your own life, your grandparents, your friends, or your imagination! Each workshop 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, 2026.

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