Can I Get a Witness? Storytelling with Melinda Bullen

Description

Can I Get a Witness? is a facilitated storytelling experience that explores the often-overlooked role of the listener. While most storytelling spaces focus on how we tell stories, this gathering shifts attention to how we receive them—inviting participants to consider what it means to truly hear someone, and how a story changes when it is fully witnessed. Through guided exercises and group reflection, participants will explore the difference between listening and witnessing, building the capacity to be more present, attentive, and grounded in both roles. This is not a space for performance or pressure, but an opportunity to engage at your own pace and experience what it feels like to be both seen and heard. 

This is a free event, but registration is required. Register through Eventbrite. 

Melinda Bullen is the creator of The Story Assembly, a series of facilitated gatherings designed to foster connection through non-performative storytelling and the practice of witnessing. She creates thoughtfully structured environments where participants move beyond surface-level conversation and into more honest, present, and meaningful ways of relating to themselves and others. thestoryassemblyproject.com
