Jun11 @TheHive

We are back at The Valley Hive on the first Thursday of each month until October! {Except this month, which is the second Thursday}

This is an outdoor event. So please look outside, check the weather, and dress appropriately. If it looks like it’s going to rain (it is possible!), then there is a covered area we can use. But we will postpone if the weather is too much like being back in Scotland.

The Fish & Bear Network – Where Voice Meets Community

We’re bringing back real human connection through spontaneous, unscripted storytelling. No performances, no opinions, no story-selling — just real people sharing real experiences.

The Evening (7:15 PM sharp)

Please arrive on time. There is minimal parking in the lot, and plenty on the street (free after 7 pm, hence the 7:15 start).

We keep the storytelling circle small to keep the rounds lively. Late arrivals or early departures are disruptive, so if you can’t commit to the full evening, you’re warmly welcome as a listener.

Part One – We open with a couple of story rounds. The first is almost always “The Story of Your Name” — everyone’s an expert there. Up to 12 people join the storytelling circle; everyone else listens.

Break – Stretch, chat, and find the restroom that is at the rear of the Nursery store.

Part Two – A few more story games to close out the structured portion.

Free Time – Mingle while we tidy up. As a courtesy to the Valley Hive and Nursery, please help us leave the space as we found it.
