Instructor: Laura McGrew
Fairy tales expose the archetypal realm, insisting that we allow our individual stories to become universal. In their ‘once upon a time’ reality, fairytales show us how the personal and the impersonal worlds weave in and out of each other uniting the past, present, and future. Marie Louis Von Franz said that fairy tales are ‘true and untrue’- ‘neither and both’ and ‘can never be resolved intellectually.’ As we move through this tale, we shall learn if these ideals hold relevancy for us today. This workshop will focus on The Handless Maiden, equally relevant for men and women. How many of us have, unknowingly, cut ourselves off from parts of ourselves so that we are less then whom we were/are supposed to be? Together we will explore these themes in a seminar-style, where we actively participate, hopefully have fun, and gain some insight along the way.
