“The importance of Full Circle cannot be overstated… Storytelling is such a healing and loving way to share with your community.” – Jennifer Betz
Open to all, Full Circle Storytelling events revolve around a prompt and the idea: everyone has a story. Sign up to tell a true story inspired by the evening’s prompt or just come to enjoy the evening! (No experience necessary.) Co-hosted by Wandering Aesthetics, Jilly’s Music Room and The Akronist, this intimate evening of storytelling will conjure the spirit of community.
Stories range from heart wrenching to hysterical – and everywhere in-between!
EVENT HASHTAG: #FullCircleStories
THE PROMPT: ‘HAPPINESS IS…’
Happiness is finding a pencil/pizza with sausage/telling the time…
Happiness is learning to whistle/tying your shoes for the very first time…
Happiness is two kinds of ice cream/knowing a secret/climbing a tree…
Happiness is five different crayons/catching a firefly/setting him free…
Happiness is a warm gun.
While this unsettling “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”/Beatles mash-up gives us rather specific details about what “happiness is”, its true message lies in what happiness is not. Happiness is not the same to everyone. Join Wandering Aesthetics with emcee Drew Louis (Actor with Pro-Model & Talent Mgmt. • Senior at Hudson High School) to share stories about what “Happiness Is…” for each of us.
Prompt inspired by submission from: Jennifer Betz
