The Jester and the Sage: Forming Connections Through Storytelling

Everyone loves a good story. Since the advent of communication, humans have compulsively weaved stories as a method to pass on wisdom, share laughter, inspire, and bring people together. In this time of social distancing, many of us are unfortunately experiencing social isolation. This group was conceived to help combat those feelings of isolation through one of the most original means of connection: storytelling.
