Beholden Storytelling: Solstice & Equinox Gatherings
Join storyteller Jared Anderson and host Ben Paulus at Roundabout Books for a seasonal evening of live storytelling and shared reflection, held in a respectful, intentional container. Each gathering features a mythic or traditional story told with drum, followed by guided conversation in small groups. Together, we explore how the story speaks to us in our current moment both individually and culturally.
Tickets are $20 per person and benefit the Beholden 501c3 non-profit. Beholden is a 501c3 non-profit that runs programs centered on personal growth, in and out of Nature, and restorative justice as repair and accountability between individuals and amongst communities.

Jared Anderson is a Counselor, Rite Guide, Storyteller and Co-founder of Beholden. Since he was twenty, he’s been seeking wisdom, guidance and healing in nature, in old stories, from mentors and from solitude. He learned to tell story by hearing story told with a drum by a man in Minnesota and began to tell story because he needed to hear it in this old way. Since no one was around to do so, he had to take it up himself. He also works as a one-on-one counselor with adults and as group facilitator for people with mental health and addiction challenges.
Ben Paulus is a local poet, writer, improv veteran, coach, and change facilitator. He has a passion and knack for creating safe spaces where people can be themselves, embrace change, and create magic together. Ben is also the founder of the Better Dads Project (betterdadsproject.com), helping Central Oregon men step into fatherhood with purpose and intention.
