A 4-hour Zoom class with Ariel Gore
You’ve been taught Freytag’s pyramid — the rise, the climax, the resolution. But what about stories that don’t overcome anything? What about lives that dive under the wave instead of cresting it?
In this 4-hour session, we’ll fully outline stories using Gore’s Grotto & discuss other liberation arcs.
By the end of class, you’ll have an outline for a novel, story, or memoir and we’ll have talked through creative challenges. Whether you’ve got a work in progress you want to enliven or reimagine, you’re just getting started and need a structure to build from, or you simply want a new tool in your kit — Gore’s Grotto will meet you where you are.
We’ll explore a story architecture built not for conquest but for deepening: one that makes room for psychic freedom, ancestor wisdom, potential space, and the radical act of eating that apple even when it’s got a worm in it.
