  • Everyone has a story worth telling. But how do you take a personal experience and turn it into a story that connects with an audience?

    Join Ottawa StoryTellers and facilitator Patrick Holloway for an engaging, hands-on introduction to the art of personal storytelling.

    Whether you're interested in sharing stories on stage, becoming a more confident public speaker, or simply learning how to bring your own experiences to life, this beginner-friendly workshop is a great place to start.

    Through fun exercises, creative exploration, and group activities, participants will learn how to identify compelling stories from their own lives, shape them into engaging narratives, and develop the confidence to share them with others.

    No previous storytelling or performance experience is required! Just bring your curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to explore the stories that make you who you are.

    Come discover the storyteller in you!
