Fish & Bear: The Most Interesting Conversations Every Week - Burbank/Glendale

About this event

It looks like storytelling, but Fish & Bear is actually about creating the conditions for people to really listen to one another. Whether you’ve known each other for ten seconds or ten years, Fish & Bear changes the way you hear one another. Helping us stop preparing what we’re going to say and start hearing what is being said. And in so doing, it builds strong human connection and trust. Most of our attendees arrive solo, but we all leave with a group of friends. The most enjoyable way to meet new people. Mostly listening, you'll hear our similarities and our uniqueness. Both peaceful & invigorating. Great for anyone looking to connect with others, especially people new to the area, singles, or anyone seeking to expand their circle of friends and acquaintances. **[We post our events on multiple platforms.

Storytelling is the capability we have used to connect with one another and create the modern world. And yet, especially on social media, we have reduced storytelling to story-selling and mostly share opinions rather than real-life experiences. Our events are simple, timed, unprepared story prompts that help everyone who listens connect to our unique and yet relatable experiences. Often, the stories told are intensely funny, sometimes emotional, but always interesting. I call them games rather than exercises because they are fun and often frivolous, but there's no competition and no one loses - except those who don't attend! 😀 **Arrive before the start.** [No Stress Hydro-Gardens](https://maps.app.goo.gl/P5tUAQkbz2Sd8Hk87) We have a lovely…
