We've all got a story. These ones are coming out to play.Join Ericha Wooley, Joko Wunderly, Ana Jimenez, and Raina Satori for an intimate evening of original monologues, personal revelations, surprising perspectives, and the delicious absurdity of being alive.
Born from the creative exploration of Storycraft Sessions, these performances weave humor, vulnerability, and imagination into stories that invite us to see ourselves—and one another—a little differently.
Because our stories aren't just about what happened to us. They're about what we make of it.
Friday, December 4, 2026 | 6–8 PM Tickets $20
Come for the stories. Leave with a little more of your own.

About Raina Satori & Storycraft Sessions
Raina Satori is a performance artist, storyteller, comedian, improviser, teacher, and the creator of Storycraft Sessions.
For more than 25 years, Raina has explored the intersection of story, movement, humor, improvisation, and embodied creative expression. She studied for four years with pioneering dance artist Anna Halprin and performed in Halprin’s Sea Ranch Collective. She has taught contact improvisation for approximately 15 years and holds a degree in expressive arts therapy.
Raina is the creator of The Shamanic Cheerleaders, The Ridiculum Curriculum, Stairway to Haven, and The Improverse. Projects that span performance, improvisation, comedy, movement, and participatory creative experience. She also performed in and co-produced the Nevada City production of So This Is Menopause, following its five-week run at The Marsh in San Francisco.
Across all of her work runs a common thread: creating spaces where people can move beyond the expected, listen to the intelligence of the body, take creative risks, and transform lived experience into something meaningful, funny, beautiful and worth sharing.
Raina is the creator and facilitator of the upcoming Storycraft Sessions at Root & Bloom Institute, an 8-week embodied writing and performance journey combining online gatherings with in-person mini-retreats at RBI and culminating in a live student showcase.
