Queering Your Journey Writing Workshop (in person)
University Heights Center
Seattle, WA
Share this event:


We'll explore ourselves and the people in our lives as heroes. We'll name archetypes and mythology in the journeys we see around us. And we'll do it all through a lens of queerness, in a space that welcomes those who are queer, those who are not, and those who are still figuring it out. Writers of all levels welcome.

This series has two workshops. Participants are welcome to attend either or both. It will be offered both in person (this event post) and online (more information: https://gatheringround.org/gatherings/2023/10/12/queering-your-journeys-online). Please contribute as-you-can when you register, to meet our costs. Everyone is welcome to attend, regardless of ability to pay. Please register for all dates that you plan on attending.

In Person workshops are offered at University Heights Center 5031 University Way NE Seattle, WA 98105. Free Parking is available in the U Heights Lot. The event takes place on the 4th floor, which is accessible by elevator. This workshop series is offered in partnership with the University Heights Center.

Workshop One: Who's the Hero? (Offered Sunday, October 8)

This is where we'll ask what heroes goes on queer journeys. Starting out with examples of folklore related to certain queer identities, we'll go on to look at our own lives to see ourselves as heroes and find heroes in the people around us.

Workshop Two: Mapping a Heroic Journey (Offered Sunday, October 22)

This is where we'll ask what queer heroic journeys actually look like. Starting out with examples of folklore related to archetypal queer journeys, we'll then look at our own lives to write about how we and our loved ones have gone on these kinds of journeys.
