Dr. Joel Ying will give his first-ever solo storytelling performance from 7 to 8:30 p.m., August 25, at his practice in Naples. Adding a modern twist to the ancient tradition of storytelling, Ying will perform his signature stories and folk tales with the theme of love in all its forms.

His repertoire, which has been presented in several previous group storytelling shows, is heartfelt and engaging for audiences. “In this age of information, it’s not the data, but the stories that captivate, inspire and motivate us,” Ying says.

Cost: $15. Location: 2335 Tamiami Tr. N., Ste. 206. For more information or tickets, call 239-200-6796 or visit LegacyOfLove.eventbrite.com. To find out more about storytelling events and Ying’s story, visit OpenDreaming.com and LivingThePresentMoment.com/storyteller.
