Come settle in for an evening of tales of endings that lead, inevitably, to new beginnings.
What better way to greet the darkening days of December, than to give yourself the gift on an evening of tales that celebrate the journeys from darkness to light. Of finding gratitude and celebration in the most unlikely places. Come be moved by heroes who dared death in order to preserve life…hear tales of how to let go with grace and how to hang on with joy.
Come celebrate the turning of the year, the joy of the solstice and all it promises, with storytellers Barbara Fankhauser, Patrick Gannon, and Rob Luck on this first day of this last month of the year. December 1, 2018.

In 1989 Barbara Fankhauser discovered the Portland Storytellers Guild and a world of people telling stories for the pure love of it opened to her. While she loves tales from all traditions, it is the great Celtic and Norse epics of her own ethnicity–and the rich trove of mid-life and elder tales—that take her heart these days. Tales that carry the wisdom we all need to navigate our years with wit, grace and insight. barb@spokentales.com
Born and raised in Honolulu, Rob Luck is the son of a Hawaiian radio and television entertainer, Lucky Luck. His mother, Ruth, was a Samoan dancer at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in the heart of Waikiki. As an entertainer, his father was a master storyteller., His mother descended from a long line of “talking chiefs.” Not surprisingly, Rob himself embraces the art of storytelling. “It is a gift we all must share.”
As a third grade teacher, Patrick Gannon loved reading stories to his students. Now that he is retired, he has been exploring the art form of oral storytelling. As a volunteer with the Portland Storytellers Guild, he has enjoyed meeting people from all walks of life. Though he tells children’s stories and personal narrative stories, he prefers telling historical stories of people whose achievements are rarely recognized by the public.
