True Stories Told Live on Love, Sex, & Partnerships...With A Twist

The Deep Dark Library is a ritual community storytelling gathering where we crowdsource deep dark questions, discuss them in intimate groups, and invite brave souls to share their stories on stage.

But there’s a twist… storytellers can ask for anything they need while telling their tale. Maybe they’ll request complete silence, a round of applause, or thought-provoking questions.

Or, they might ask for backup dancers, someone to hum an epic soundtrack, or even a volunteer to play the mischievous cat in their story, slinking across the stage.

Here, the silly meets the serious, the sacred dances with the profane. Together, we embrace both the absurd and the profound, breaking down barriers to go deeper & darker, together.

In this gathering, we’ll explore the intricacies of connection, the beauty and challenge of intimacy, and the transformative power of authentic partnership.

These are central elements of the human experience, yet they often come with unspoken questions, deep vulnerabilities, and societal pressures. How do we define love in our lives? What does partnership look like in a world with shifting norms around relationships? How can we approach intimacy and sex with openness and care, unlearning shame and embracing our desires?

The Deep Dark Library is more than just a gathering—it’s a journey into the heart of what it means to be human. It’s a place where we reclaim the lost art of gathering and wisdom sharing through stories. Whether you share your story or simply listen, together, we rebuild the bonds we so deeply desire—one story at a time.

We’re gathering at Milieu Gallery in Bridgeport Village, located at 7479 SW Bridgeport Rd, Tigard, OR 97224. This expansive space is alive with local art and offers plenty of seating options and cozy nooks that invite connection and conversation. It’s the kind of place where stories naturally flow, with the added treat of a wine bar and chocolate shop to enjoy throughout the evening.
