Come and join Kate Farrell alongside her presenters to discuss what one of the most told stories on Earth, the Heroine's Journey, entails!
About this Event

Join us for an inspiring panel discussion and interactive writing session exploring the transformative power of the Heroine’s Journey with author and storyteller Kate Farrell and special guests.

Rooted in universal archetypes, the Heroine’s Journey offers a powerful framework for understanding creativity, identity, and the evolving role of the feminine in our world today. Through a dynamic conversation, Kate and her fellow presenters will illuminate the key stages of the journey—moving beyond traditional narratives to embrace connection, healing, and wholeness.

Following the discussion, participants will be invited into a guided writing experience designed to help them reflect on their own stories. Whether you’re a writer, artist, or simply curious, this interactive session offers a meaningful opportunity to engage with the themes of the Heroine’s Journey in a personal and creative way.

Come ready to listen, reflect, and write—no prior experience necessary.
