South Sound Story Guild

What unites us is a passion for the oral tradition of storytelling.

What We Do

Foster an appreciation for the art and tradition of storytelling in our community through monthly story concerts, events, and more!

Creating Connections

When we share oral stories, we create social and emotional connections that are personal and direct. 

Strengthening Community

By sharing personal stories, we can connect with others and create a sense of community.

Fostering Tradition

The tradition of oral storytelling is when knowledge, cultural customs, and stories are passed down through generations by speech alone.

Storytelling is an Art

Storytelling is a central part of human experience and culture and has been woven into the fabric of thousands of civilizations. It is a performing art involving creativity, craftsmanship, and inspiration.

Why Oral Storytelling?

  • It’s used to pass down cultural values and traditions.
  • It is a great source of entertainment.
  • It fosters creativity and imagination.
