For the Western story of overcoming, they teach Freytag’s pyramid. But Ariel Gore teaches "Gore’s Grotto," an alternative narrative structure with a focus on tapping into myths and hidden places.
The focus here isn’t on heroes, rising action, and conquer,
but on deepening, discerning, community-building, and surviving with a version of ourselves that can relax.
We go inside and we discover the inner resources we need.
In this workshop, we’ll cover
the 13-beats of Gore’s Grotto:
1. Invocations
2. Societal Options
3. Casting the Spell
4. Breaking the Old Spells
5. Deepening Action
6. Eating / Strengthening
7. Potential Space
8. Moving Through Resistance
9. Ancestor Nod
10. Remembering When We Defied Gravity
11. Accelerating Through Toxicity
12. Releasing Expectations / Accepting Failure
13. Psychic Freedom
