We Are The Trees: Stories of Resilience through Community

A tree cannot thrive alone on its own. Root systems from the forest floor intertwine to provide safety, structure, and community reciprocity. 

This event honors how we, like the forest, thrive when we have strong community systems in place. Join us for storytelling, journaling, and a community open mic!

Co-facilitated by Libba Moore and Maggie Lowe! Maggie is a soulful musical storyteller, pairing irreverent wit with sides of spice and sass. Like honey-sweetened tea on a hot summer day, their songs are inspired by always-sincere and often-funny tales of love and identity, pulling together threads of the human experience that everyone can relate to

The evening will include:

🌿 A grounding opening activity

📝 Guided journaling prompts

🎤 A featured performance by Maggie

🎙️ An open mic for community members to share personal stories

This event welcomes both seasoned artists and curious beginners. It’s a space where vulnerability is honored and creativity is nurtured.

🌱 We believe storytelling is a sacred act of healing—both personal and collective. When we gather to listen and share, we make room for empathy, transformation, and joy. Come ready to witness, to be inspired, and maybe even to speak. Every story matters.

🌟 Goals of the Storytelling Show:

• To nurture a brave, welcoming space where all voices—quiet or loud, practiced or new—are invited to share and be heard.
• To celebrate the power of personal narrative as a tool for healing, reflection, and connection.
• To ground ourselves in community, finding strength and resonance in our shared human experiences.
• To ignite inspiration, empowering attendees to tap into their creative expression—whether through words, movement, art, or sound.
• To honor the stories that shape us, and to witness one another with care, curiosity, and compassion.
