Beyond Borders Storytelling

Beyond Borders Storytelling was founded by three returned Peace Corps Volunteers to share stories about living overseas and crossing cultures at home. We believe everyone has a story so we provide coaching, run workshops and host story jams to help anyone develop and tell great stories.

EVENTS

Ghost Story Jam
Oct 16, 8:00-9:30pm
PianoFight
144 Taylor St,San Francisco
Tickets: $12 online | $15 at the door

Stories about things that haunt us. Apparitions real and imagined. People who left us, and then returned. A phantom sensation after losing a limb. Unexplained phenomena, nagging memories, or mistakes we've made. Join us on Oct 16 as we call in the spirits for our Ghosts Story Jam!

Do you have a personal story to share? We want to hear it! Pitch it to us here. Stories must be true and based on your own experiences.

Presented in partnership with the fantastic, fun folks at Hostelling International USA. Check them out at: http://www.norcalhostels.org
