storytelling circle
Shared tale session
A storytelling circle is a gathering where participants sit in a circle and take turns sharing stories, often personal narratives or folk tales.
The format emphasizes equality—no one sits at the head—and creates space for listening as much as speaking.
Common in educational settings, community building, and indigenous traditions: The elders held a storytelling circle for the children.
