The Drop-In Story Lab: This Monday!
Side Porch Stories

Fort Collins, CO
Community Workshop Announcement • Sept 2026
Join us for a warm, no-cost storytelling journey where your real-life experiences find their voice. Come with a personal and true story that you want to work on or just an idea of one. You'll learn an element of story craft each time but primarily we'll help each other figure out what story we're trying to tell.

Facilitated by Mary Roberts
No scripts. No pressure. Just honest craft.
Whether you have a fully formed narrative or just a fleeting memory you want to explore, we're ready to help.
The atmosphere is supportive, welcoming, and fun—with generous feedback that meets you exactly where you are.
