Sharing those experiences and deeply listening to others’ stories has been instrumental in building empathy and bringing communities together\, and it can be cathartic and affirming to our journeys. In this 2-day virtual storytelling workshop\, we will come together to explore and reflect on those stories from our lives that surround our identities and lived experiences\, and discover how to shape\, expand\, and structure those stories in a fun\, compassionate\, and safe space.  \nThis 2-part virtual workshop series is open to immigrants and refugees wanting to start or continue their storytelling writing process. No prior experience is necessary.  \nMeghna Bhat\, a Capital Storytelling Ambassador and first-generation immigrant\, will facilitate the workshop on August 23 and 25\, 2022.

You can choose to come only to Day 1 or you can enroll in both Day 1 and 2 as a package.

Whether you are new to storytelling or have taken a similar workshop\, you are welcome to learn the basics and the process of storytelling. Participants will be introduced to important elements of storytelling to strengthen and structure their story drafts and will be guided through prompts and buddy sharing. We will also work on developing an intentional practice of active listening to the stories of those around us. Participants will walk away knowing how to structure their story drafts\, and be given tools and optional homework to prepare for the 2nd session (if they choose to attend Day 2). \nENROLL IN DAY 1\n  \nDay 2: Building Your Story Characters\nThursday\, August 25 @ 5:00 – 7:00 PM PT / 8:00 – 10:00 PM ET\nCost: $90 (for Day 1 and 2) \nDay 2 of this 2-day workshop is intended for participants who attended Day 1 and want to continue their storytelling journey by learning how to strengthen their stories.

Sharing those experiences about our immigrant dream is not only cathartic\, it helps us find meaning and build connections with others. In this 2 hours virtual workshop\, we will come together to discover and reflect on stories in our lives in a fun\, compassionate\, and safe space. \nMeghna Bhat\, a Capital Storytelling Ambassador\, and a first-generation immigrant will lead participants through individual reflective activities to help them discover their own unique stories and to see meaning in those stories. This story circle has been intentionally created for immigrants\, refugees\, or asylum seekers of South Asian origin from South Asian countries. Participants will be invited to share stories in small groups if they choose. Come connect with others in the community\, learn more about yourself\, find your voice\, and learn more about the power of storytelling. \nJune 22 @ 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET \nCost: $45 \n**We are intentionally creating space for our immigrant community in this workshop. If you want to attend but do not identify as an immigrant\, please email meghna@capitalstorytelling.com.
