Stories. Connection. Courage. It starts with a story.

Not everyone finds their path early. Some of us wander, change directions, start over, or discover our voice long after we thought we were supposed to have everything figured out.

Join us for an evening of true stories inspired by the theme Late Bloomer. Four Portland storytellers share personal stories about finding purpose later than expected, changing course, taking chances, and growing into the people they were always meant to become, just on their own timeline.

These are stories about missed turns that led somewhere better, quiet beginnings that turned into bold steps, and the strange, beautiful realization that life doesn’t follow a schedule. Sometimes the things that take the longest to grow end up being the most meaningful.

Come solo, bring friends, or come exactly as you are. Come for the stories. Stay for the reminder that blooming late is still blooming.

Our featured storytellers for this show are Samira Sahebi, Flynne Olivarez, Sat, and Sean Wynn.

You Are Not Alone is part of a storytelling series hosted by Lauren Sinner & Chris Williams that centers human connection in all its messy, beautiful, and surprising forms. Come as you are. Leave with a little more of what we all need.
