For so many queer and trans folks, the story of our formative years as a child can be one of trauma, pain, and grief. More often than not, being afraid to see yourself as different from those around you with little to no support can function as a way of taking or silencing the stories of our youth in our most formative years as we sought to conform to the status quo or "stay in the closet" so to speak.

This 4 week writing workshop, is for those that want to explore what it means to reclaim the stories of our youth/inner child as we delve into the healing and transformative power of storytelling while creating a sacred and intentional space for those stories to be witnessed.

We will delve into the different types of modern creative story telling (poetry, stand-up, screenwriting) and explore some inner child healing practices and through them with writing prompts, and meditations attempt to embody a space that will allow that inner child to speak, craft, form and transcend time to create and reclaim their stories to be told and seen.
