In-person! Patchwork Storytelling Guild Presents: Light in the Dark — A World Storytelling Day Celebration of Story, Community, and Creative Renewal

Patchwork Storytelling Guild Presents: Light in the Dark — A World Storytelling Day Celebration of Story, Community, and Creative Renewal Patchwork Storytelling Guild invites the public to celebrate World Storytelling Day with a special event titled Light in the Dark, a joyful afternoon of storytelling, creativity, and connection. This community gathering will feature an interactive storytelling workshop, a shared lunch experience, and a dynamic showcase of live storytelling performances. This year’s theme, Light in the Dark, is an invitation to pause and remember what stories have always done for humanity: illuminate, heal, challenge, comfort, and connect. Whether humorous, poignant, or mythic, storytelling offers us a way to find meaning and beauty even in uncertain times. Featured storytellers include: Michele Belluomini, Carin Bonifacino, Tesia Nicoli Campbell, JR Denson, Paul Heery, Karen Reiner, Tannia Schrieber, Barbara Sherf, Christina Sturgis, Christopher Wade, and Denise McCormack. Denise McCormack, Patchwork’s president and torch-bearer, will host the event and shares: “Stories are the lampposts given to us by our predecessors in life. They encourage us, mark the way, and smooth the road—often revealing bypasses and shortcuts—so that we might stride toward our destinations with confidence and clarity. And it is our stories that will one day light the way for others. This showcase is a testament to that power, and to that generosity of spirit.” Patchwork’s event welcomes both longtime lovers of storytelling and those discovering it for the first time.   Whether you attend to learn, to listen, or simply to share in the warmth of community, this celebration promises an afternoon of inspiration and connection through story. BE PART OF OUR STORY Patchwork Storytelling Guild believes that storytelling is more than entertainment—it is cultural preservation, emotional truth-telling, and a bridge between people.
