  • South Asia Institute 1925 South Michigan Ave Chicago, IL 60616 (map)

Award-winning storyteller Jitesh Jaggi is back at South Asia Institute with another fabulous event!

But there's a catch--this time, he isn't the only one sharing his stories. Through his immersive skills, Jitesh will make the audience tell their stories of grief, loss, love, passion, and jealousy to create a space where we can heal together.

Grab your tickets fast, and don't miss this fantastic event happening on Friday, July 14 from 6: 30 to 8:30 pm. The door opens at 6:30 pm and the event starts from 7:00 pm onwards.

About the event:

Our upcoming event, “Story Circle with Jitesh Jaggi” is a safe, fun, and vulnerable space that helps coax people's hidden memories and emotions. You will first listen to a story by our resident storyteller, identify the theme from that story, and then—if it moves you—share an experience that fits it. This will be a judgment-free zone where communities can bond. People of all shades and stripes are welcome, and everyone gets a chance to listen and share.

Story Circle is a step in our collective healing.

Conversations moderated by award-winning storyteller Jitesh Jaggi. Sign up now!
