“River Wide, Mountain High,” aims to delve into the deep bonds between people and the places that define our lives and shape who we become. More than just locations on a map, these places become characters in our stories—places of love and loss, hope and healing, birth and rebirth, sweetness and sorrows, and inevitable transformations. “River Wide, Mountain High” will remind us that our personal histories are inextricably linked to the communities where we live. Whether we’re from hills and hollers, a bustling city or a barren desert, our stories will forever be woven into the back roads and the front porches of where we’re from.

Attending a live storytelling event reminds us of our humanity. Sharing stories is the very best way to access deep compassion and to smash stereotypes and bias. The experience gives us permission to open our minds and our hearts. Through the voices of others, we are reminded that we are more alike than we know and that the healing power of story is undeniable.

We look forward to bringing our community together for this unforgettable evening!

This event is free and open to the public, donations welcome! Please RSVP to let us know you are coming!
