our sponsors help organize this event and contribute to our enjoyment of the evening by providing a location, food and drinks.
please consider supporting them with your patronage in return.
inspired by the moth radio hour, the community at the zen bungalow has partnered with hopkinton's wake up and smell the poetry and the women's art forum to create ZENMothra -- a unique gathering of friends & neighbors who love sharing good stories and engaging in good conversation around them.
it's not just about stories...
if you've ever listened to the moth radio hour, you've experienced how ordinary people create an extraordinary event simply by sharing meaningful anecdotes from their lives.
well, we're a bunch of moth-o-philes taking a slightly different tack. "storytelling" remains central to the evening, but we believe there's even more magic to be made when real stories from our lives are shared among friends and neghbors in a conversational setting instead of a "performance" setting.
and because the zen bungalow community is tied to world of commerce, we believe any opportunity that can inspire or perfect our ability to share stories directly translates to better marketing communications in our businesses.
so we'll provide the environment. you provide the stories. together we'll create the good times.

linda havel
linda's story(ies) :: recently returned from another "pilgrimage" to Florida, she will share a brief story / poem about "away sickness" -- a familiar experience "of longing to go somewhere that will never be home again among people I'll never know well enough to belong to."
about linda :: living by a large lake for fifty years and telling stories for twenty-five, all in order get a closer look at life's changes (from her great-grandparents' letters right up to her grandchildren's west coast facebook stories).
deborah lynn
deborah's story(ies) :: it's only fitting this event takes place in the zen bungalow, as zen is all about living "in the moment." deb will take inspiration from the people and the moment to share a truth meant to be expressed "in the moment."
about deborah :: deborah's a mother, a grandmother, a daughter, a wife and a writer... her husband has observed she "...sees the spirituality in all things, animate and inanimate," and she hopes to share some of that with us on this month.
deborah rocha
deborah's story(ies) :: when slaves arrived in Brazil, their masters allowed them to worship their own gods so long as those gods wore the garb of Catholic saints: deborah will share a personal experience of a spirit following her, a medium perceiving that spirit, and the suggestion she lead that spirit to where it ought to be.
about deborah :: deborah was born and grew up in kansas, moved to boston where she met her husband (who happened to hail from brazil), and then got to live a life-long dream -- to live in underdevelopment with access to a tropical beach. finding underdevelopment a bit more than it's cracked up to be, they returned to boston and she now enjoys the wonder of seeing the world once more through the innocent eyes of her grandchildren.
