✨ Neighbourhood Story Slam is a live community event in which storytellers can share a true, personal, lived 6-minute story on the night's theme.
We're stoked to bring you a special outdoor edition in collaboration with Wellspace - part sauna, part community gathering, part story slam by the bonfire.
Bring your picnic blankets, your favourite snacks, and settle in for a night of stories under the summer sunset on the theme:
"OCCASIONAL MAGIC": Those rare, unforgettable moments - a perfect coincidence, a spark of wonder, a twist of fate, or a magical encounter that reminded you the world is still full of surprises. That maybe...just maybe, the universe is conspiring just for you. These are the stories of uncanny timing, small miracles, and the ones that make you pause and think..."What are the odds?”. A celebration of synchronicity, serendipity, and the unexplainable beauty of being alive.
