Each month community storytellers take to the Odyssey Storytelling stage to relate true (well, mostly), personal stories loosely related to a pre-chosen theme in front of a live audience. The stories are not read or memorized, they are told from the life experiences and creativity of the teller.

    July 2024: Dreamy

    Dreaminess is different for us all. Maybe the American Dream has changed the trajectory of your life. Maybe you feel uber-connected to Carl Jung.

Come hear 5 stories about how dreaminess has both dragged us down and lifted us out of the darkest spaces.
