The Stories That Shape Us is an evening of spoken word poetry and storytelling where we gather to honour the power of voice.
This isn’t just an open mic—it’s a space to lean into truth to listen deeply and to celebrate the resilience that carries us through. Professors writers community leaders and everyday storytellers will share words that spark connection healing and hope.
Whether you come to speak or simply to listen you’ll be part of a night that reminds us how story has the power to transform to unite and to shape who we are becoming.
This event is hosted by Stéphanie St-Jean the voice behind Lessons in Discernment a podcast and storytelling platform dedicated to truth healing and community.
Kindly note: Light tapas and beverages will be provided. Please plan accordingly.
