TRUE STORIES BY REAL PEOPLE
Soulbound Stories are intimate evenings at Soulbound House where someone stands up — or sits down — and shares something true.
Not a performance. Not a TED talk.
Just a person, a story, and a room quiet enough to hear it.
The only rule: it has to be short and it has to be true and after that, well, it can be whatever you want it to be*. Spoken, read, sung, whispered. Funny, raw, quiet, or something you've never said out loud before.
WHY THIS MATTERS RIGHT NOW
We are living through a strange time.
Everyone is online. Everyone is performing. Everyone is curating. And somewhere in the middle of all that, we stopped telling each other the truth — not big political truths, just the small, human ones. The ones that make you feel less alone when you hear them.
Those stories matter. There is something irreplaceable about hearing a true story from a real person in a real room. The act of being witnessed is one of the most powerful things a person can experience.
Some nights are hilarious. Some are heavy. Most are both. Every single one is worth showing up for.
WHAT AN EVENING LOOKS LIKE
You arrive. You take off your coat. Someone hands you tea.
The room is candlelit. There are floor cushions, wooden alcoves, soft light. Fifteen people, max. Most of them strangers. All of them here for the same reason.
Someone shares a story. Then someone else. Between stories, there's silence — not awkward silence, but the kind that means something just landed.
By the end of the evening, you know people in that room better than colleagues you've worked with for years. And they know you.
You leave lighter than you arrived.
WHO TELLS STORIES
Everyone. That's the point.
Sometimes people you might recognize — musicians, writers, leaders, public figures — may join in. Not as performers. As people.
We'll be announcing our first storytellers soon.
ATTEND A STORY NIGHT
Story nights are open to members and invited guests.
If you'd like to attend — or if you have a story of your own — let us know.
TELL YOUR STORY
Have a story worth sharing? We'd love to hear about it.
