Authentic Voices Speaker Series – Small Town Sessions: A Night of Storytelling, Connection & Coming Home to Yourself
This unique event comes to the Bryan Gallery on Saturday, July 19.
Doors open at 6pm and the event begins at 7pm. Tickets are $25 per person.
The Authentic Voices Speaker Series - Small Town Sessions isn’t your typical lecture or conference. It’s an event that is part storytelling, part personal growth and part community connection. Think TED Talks ... but if the TED speaker came into your living room, kicked off shoes, poured a cup of tea and said: “Okay, so how are you really doing?”
The brainchild of Missouri-transplant-to-Vermont, Jess Vogelpohl, she founded Consciously Unbecoming, to offer personal development, retreats, personal coaching and other wellness-centered events. The speaker series debuted successfully in Essex, Vermont, but Ms. Vogelpohl wishes to bring the event and the series to small venues in smaller locations for more impact.
Listen to 4 powerful, community speakers who will share varied stories, not necessarily buttoned up and polished. The stories cover everything from rewiring beliefs, overcoming adversity, embracing new strengths and finding magic in unexpected places.
The July 19 event features:
Jess Kiely Vogelpohl, founder of Consciously Unbecoming
Dr. Elizabeth Davidson, holistic practitioner and health revolutionary
Annie O'Shaughnessy, educator, writer, and Executive Director of The Starling Collaborative
Ally Berthiaume, award-winning author and founder of The Write Place, Right Time
This event is for anyone ready to:
→ Break free from the stories holding them back
→ Find community with like-minded souls
→ Be inspired by courage, vulnerability, and heart
→ Walk away with practical tools & insights to start living authentically aligned lives
But Wait...There’s More!
After the speakers leave the stage, guests are invited to stay for a Vendor Market & Reception featuring local small businesses, wellness products, holistic services, and beautifully curated goodies. Sip on craft cocktails, mocktails, and cozy beverages while you mingle, shop, and connect in the Vendor Market. Because healing happens in community. Transformation happens in connection. And magic happens when people feel seen, heard, and valued for exactly who they are!
