Quarterly Writing Workshops
Why archetypes matter: Archetypes are universal patterns of experience that resonate instantly with readers. In poetry, they can work as a hidden current, giving a single image or line the weight of a collective story. When a writer taps into an archetype, the symbol carries mythic associations, emotional depth, and a built‑in narrative arc, all of which can turn a brief stanza or chapter into a vivid, resonant whole. Through our generative writing, we will explore the timeless power of archetypes through the vivid symbols of the Tarot’s Major Arcana. Over four quarterly sessions, we will move from theory to practice, using the cards as a toolbox for character and story development, plot structure, and thematic depth.
Who Should Join
* Fiction writers, poets, and storytellers seeking fresh creative fuel.
* Writers‑in‑progress who want to deepen character work and thematic resonance.
* Anyone curious about Tarot symbolism and its narrative potential—no prior Tarot knowledge required.
Please join us for this series of complementary quarterly generative writing workshops on Zoom with Círculo Board Member Odilia Galván Rodríguez.
Workshops will occur on Sundays at 12:00 pm PST, 1:00 pm Mountain, 2:00 pm Central, or 3:00 pm EST.
Our final workshop for the year falls on October 25th.
This event takes place online. After registering on Zeffy, you'll receive the Zoom link the day before. For questions, email us at circulowriters@gmail.com .
