Step into Stories of a Lifetime, a joyful and inclusive workshop where every voice matters. Designed to embrace mild cognitive impairment and early-stage dementia participants and their care partners. This series—led by storyteller Sage Tyrtle—celebrates the magic of shared memories and the connections they bring. No experience needed! 

To lighten the mood, we will have short laughing exercises with Magarita Caropresi. 

What you’ll experience:

• Gentle, inspiring prompts to spark your unique stories
• A safe and supportive space where all voices and cognitions are respected and valued
• Creative expression through words, gestures, or keepsakes
• The power of storytelling to connect and uplift 

 Every story is a gift—whether whispered, remembered, or newly discovered. Come as you are, and let’s celebrate the tales that make us
who we are. 

Sage Tyrtle is a professional storyteller and writer based in Toronto. Her work appears in New Delta Review, The Offing, Lunch Ticket, and Apex Magazine.
