Club members easily build a community of support and have opportunities to create their own audio stories as a legacy keepsake. Ultimately, members and their families join a community bonded over meaningful and purposeful connections.
Life Story Clubs are offered in-person and remotely. Through senior centers, library branches, retirement communities and care providers, clubs meet weekly with the same group of storytellers coming together consistently over time, creating a “soup for the soul” experience for individuals to connect with greater purpose and intimacy.
