# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Exploring Lore: A Storytelling Workshop w/ Christa Lei & Peter Bullough Foundation
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 06 Oct, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Tue, 06 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Everyone knows of a myth passed down through their family. Maybe you have a special recipe passed down through the generations and are trying to recreate it. Or your uncle had a brush with fame and that’s why he’s LIKE THAT. We come into our world believing certain things about our origin stories and roots. But what if you were allowed permission to remix and rewrite these stories? Through careful readings and discussion, we’ll discuss strategies of sharing lore—whether that be real or speculative. By the end of this writing workshop, attendees should have the beginning stages of a re-written origin story, or borrow techniques to use in a new draft. All genres welcome. No experience needed. Snacks provided!
