The Houlihan Narratives
We began as a live story-telling event held in the small mountain town of Lander, Wyoming. The stories are true as told by the speakers, their vulnerability offered in exchange for the respectful listening ears of the community. We believe in the power of stories. The power to move us, challenge us, heal us, inspire us, and unite us.

Stories gain their power by being told. And heard.
We often hear ourselves in the stories of others. And while Lander is our town, it's also every town. You're going to hear yourself, your neighbors, and your friends in these stories.
Each of our story-telling events is tied to a theme and invites community members to present their stories in front of a live audience.
We’ll be sharing some of those stories here.
Music for this season comes from artist Jason Tyler Burton, featuring the song “On My Mind” from his album Lost Behind the Ranges.
