CANCELLED: Human Story Swap

We’re sorry to cancel this event, but hope to see you at a future Human Story Swap!

Come expand your community with us!

Every one of us has a story to tell. Hudson Valley Books for Humanity is all about bringing people together and celebrating the rich diversity of our community. With that in mind, we are featuring a series of intentional gatherings called the “Human Story Swap.”

When you come to a Human Story Swap, you have the opportunity to meet someone you might not otherwise get to know in your typical day. Perhaps it’s someone of a different age group, or a different cultural perspective. We provide some light guidelines, give you a few suggested conversation prompts, and arrange the group in pairs. We practice active listening while we engage in a structured 20-minute conversation, after which we all come back together and share something with the group about your conversation partner.

Many past participants enjoy returning and chatting with someone new, and we especially love when new folks join.  Friendships have sprouted and faces become familiar… each event is different and always full of surprises.

Your hosts are Angie Soberal , Leana Rutt, and/or Betsy Kates. Come on your own or bring a friend! Our only hope is that you come with an open mind and leave with a full heart.

Advance RSVPs strongly recommended, as we need a minimum number of guests in order to hold this event.

Tickets cost $10 ahead of time or $15 at the door. There will be a cash bar. Each RSVP will be entered into a raffle for a free book or LP.

We look forward to seeing you on the 28th!
