The Loom
Weaving Tales of Wisdom and Wonder from Across the Generations
Story Evenings for Women in Bridport and Dorchester
Hosted By Megan Simson and Lu Orza
Experience the power of stories
From personal journeys of resilience and triumph to the enchanting wisdom of ancient folk tales, these stories are a celebration of womanhood.
Whether you seek inspiration, connection, or simply an evening of beautiful storytelling, this is an event not to be missed.
The Loom story night provides a space where women - both new and not so new to sharing stories - can perform in an extremely supportive and encouraging environment. It is a curated event with six women pre-selected and supported with sharing their story before hand.
If you wish to perform a story, real life or fairy lore, at one of our nights in the future, get in touch with Lu Orza. Call or WhatsApp Lu on +44 7792 394209

Kind words from Linda an attendee of The Loom
I was so deeply moved, listening to the women last night who shared their stories; so lit up and inspired, that l couldn’t get to sleep!
I was reflecting on the transformative power of their words!! They were vulnerable, courageous, humorous, wonderfully-crafted and truly authentic!
It wasn’t just the voices of those who shared their stories ; it was the warmth & supportiveness of the listening in the room! A gathering of women holding a warm receptive space for the ones who spoke. They were celebrating them, encouraging them, nurturing their voices as they listened.
