Pechakucha Evening Leap of Faith – Tales, Tidbits and a Tipple

You’re going to love this! Our next brilliant Pechakucha evening is coming up on 20 November, from 5pm to 8pm, and we are ready to share the line-up of superstar storytellers.

‘Leap of Faith’ – taking risks, trusting instincts, or making bold decisions.

Three stories from three different storytellers will be gently threaded together under the theme, ‘Leap of Faith’. Luke Jansen (GSB parent), Anna Nova (GSB parent) and Daan Van Rooijen (Grade 12 student) will be our storytellers. Book your seat now so you don’t miss out! 

The event is inspired by the Pechakucha format, where stories are shared through 20 images, each image auto-advancing after 20 seconds. Join us as our storytellers bring their personalities to the format and take us on a journey to places unknown.

This event is free, but you need to register so we get the set-up and seating right. Please register by quickly filling out the short form HERE.

Food and drinks will be available to purchase throughout the evening, so bring some cash to enjoy the tidbits and a tipple of something yummy. While the new Living Bridge construction is underway, we will be turning on the fairy lights in Heart of School as the location for this special event.

“Sometimes, your only available transportation is a leap of faith.” Margaret Shepherd
