Story Circle Description

A Story Circle is 5-20 people sitting in a circle, telling stories or remembrances, led by a Story Circle facilitator. While the themes of Story Circles vary according to purpose, the methodology is the same for each Circle.

Duration: Anywhere from an hour to a day

Objectives: All Story Circles have as a common objective the development of listening and verbal expression skills, plus a greater appreciation for the cultural gifts and talents of everyday people. All Story Circles should be as much about listening as they are about telling.

Materials: No materials are essential, but good things to have include a comfortable, movable chair for every participant and a relatively quiet, private space for the group.
