About this Event
The stories we're told not to tell—where we were too angry, too much, too dangerous—are often the ones we most need to write.
Brief neuroscience on memory suppression, then craft techniques for excavating forbidden narratives using archetypal frameworks (Baba Yaga, Kali, Medusa).
Participants learn scene construction, voice modulation, and how to write the "dangerous" detail without flinching. Leave with scenes that embody their wildest selves.
