Transcending the Narrative | Shepparton

Transcending the Narrative takes queer young people (16-25 years old) from the Goulburn Valley, and North East Victoria on a journey of writing, re-writing, and transcending their story. Exploring creative writing, and using principles of Narrative Therapy, Transcending the Narrative will take participants on a journey from the story we queer people have – or are told to have – about our lives, to a self-affirming, transcendent narrative of our lives.
