Dinner Event
On September 24, we’ll come together for a creative dinner — reading stories and sharing art inspired by them.

In the foreground, there are candles and flowers on a table, and a woman with glasses and curly hair is partially visible, listening to him.

Secure Your Spot With Your Story

Please note:

  • Share a true story from your life — something real from your past.

  • When read aloud, your story should take no more than 5–10 minutes.

  • Include emotional detail and sensory memory — what you felt, saw, smelled, remembered.

  • We ask for your honest recollection; small details may blur with memory, but your story should feel authentic and rooted in your experience.

  • By submitting, you’re committing to honor someone else’s story by creating something with it.
