Week 2 of 5 in the Excavate the Wound Fall 2025 Series
About This Workshop + Excavate the Wound
Excavate the Wound is a holistic craft-based workshop series that invites writers to dig inward through memory, obsession, and imagination to uncover what gives their stories depth. Each session blends craft with psychological and mythical self-inquiry, guiding you to clarify your creative voice, build rich characters, and shape living story worlds.
Our characters live within us. In this session, we’ll explore how to draw from archetypes, personal history, and subconscious patterns to create vivid characters who feel alive on the page. By excavating the inner selves we carry, storytellers will learn to craft characters with emotional depth and narrative purpose. This workshop uses parts work to create an inner archetypal character web.
What You’ll Gain
A framework for developing characters rooted in archetypal psychology.
Guidance in creating your own unique web of character archetypes for reference in your writing.
Tools to map out full character arcs, relationships, and conflicts.
