17:00 Transcending Campbell: The Virgin’s Promise Path with Kim Hudson

A Revolutionary Workshop with Kim Hudson, Creator of The Virgin’s Promise

Date: March 29th
Time: 17:00
Room: Streamed online only

Ready to revolutionize your understanding of character transformation? Join internationally acclaimed author and archetypal theorist Kim Hudson (The Virgin’s Promise) for an illuminating journey beyond traditional narrative structures. While Joseph Campbell gave us the Hero’s Journey, Hudson’s groundbreaking Virgin’s Promise framework reveals the untapped power of feminine narrative arcs that are reshaping contemporary storytelling.

Drawing from her rich background spanning geology to Indigenous storytelling, Hudson demonstrates how modern screenwriting demands both classic and emerging structural frameworks. In this transformative session, you’ll discover:

  • Why the Hero’s Journey alone isn’t enough for today’s complex character narratives
  • Essential elements of the Virgin’s Promise that create authentic feminine journeys
  • How to weave traditional and feminine narrative patterns for deeper, more resonant scripts
  • Practical techniques for crafting characters that speak to contemporary audiences

Perfect for: Screenwriters seeking to expand their structural toolkit, storytellers focused on authentic representation, and creators ready to master the full spectrum of character transformation.

The hero isn’t the only one with a thousand faces. Join us as we explore the rich landscape of narrative beyond Campbell’s framework and discover new paths to powerful storytelling.
