Stories connect us. Because we all have stories to tell.
THE BEAR’s mission is to promote mutual understanding and connection through the practice of storytelling, and by elevating this art form on stages, pages, airwaves, and in workshops around the world.
Our vision is to create a more compassionate world, where every story matters.
Be our next storyteller! Because if you have a story, we have a stage.
