Sharing Old Stories from Europe.

Thursday evenings, once a month from 6 to 8 pm (Nov 13, Dec 11, Jan 15, and Feb[tbc])

Join us for a monthly story-sharing series, open to all students and friends!

Led by members of the Kosa community, each session will feature traditional tales from Europe. After the storytelling, we’ll gather in a sharing circle to discuss, explore and unpack the deeper meanings and messages held within the stories.

Nov 13: UKRAINIAN FOLKTALES

Dec 11: BRETON FOLKTALES

Jan 15: ESTONIAN STORY SONGS

Feb (tbc): FINNISH KALEVALA

Participants are warmly encouraged to bring folk tales of their own to share—whether from their cultural background, family tradition, or personal interest. No prior experience is necessary, and all stories will be told in English. Everyone is welcome!

Donations appreciated! (Donations will go towards storyteller for their time.)

You can donate one time here, pay cash at the door, or become an annual giving member here!
