Join us on May 22nd for an evening of storytelling; to gather, to connect, and be inspired by true stories from our community.
About this Event

Soapbox is delighted to welcome you to another evening of The Story Sessions! This month, our theme is Endurance: what it takes to keep going. The strength behind change, grief, love, work, healing, and just being alive.

We’re sharing stories of resilience and strength, the moments you kept showing up, kept moving forward, kept believing. Stories of the long road and the tough seasons, but also the quiet determination that carried you through. The moments when something shifted, and you realised just how strong, capable, and unstoppable you really are.



About the Event

Join us on May 22nd from 6pm for an evening of storytelling; a space to gather, connect, and be inspired by true stories from our community. The Story Sessions is all about sharing real experiences: a place where voices are heard and celebrated.

Storytelling is one of the oldest ways we connect as humans. Stories have the power to make us laugh, cry, reflect, and feel less alone. Through sharing and listening, we make sense of the world and discover authentic connection with each other.

Whether you come to share your story or simply to listen, you’ll find a welcoming community ready to embrace and uplift you.
