Southbay Storytellers and Listeners
A network of people living and working in the Silicon Valley dedicated to making storytelling a vital part of our community and improving our storytelling and listening skills
We hold monthly story-swap meetings on the Second Sunday of each month from 7 to 9 pm at the Los Altos United Methodist Church on the corner of Foothill and Magdalena in Los Altos. We are in the meeting room closest to the stoplight. Visitors are always welcome to listen and to tell.
In addition we sponsor a Tellabration(tm) Story Concert each November, a Winter Workshop and Swap Day each February, and Stories of the Basin, each July at Big Basin State Park. For details on these and other local storytelling events throughout the year go to Storytelling events for 2011-12.
