Abby will lead us in exploring liminal space: being in the in-between and unknown. We are facing so many transitions and so much unknown. We will share what supports us in times of being in between and in the unknown. What are things we take with us, and what do we hope to find? What is it like to hold uncertainty?

We'll explore ourselves and the people in our lives as heroes. We'll name archetypes and mythology in the journeys we see around us. And we'll do it all through a lens of queerness, in a space that welcomes those who are queer, those who are not, and those who are still figuring it out. Writers of all levels welcome.
