4 Two-and-a-Half-Hour seminars
Fridays & Saturdays, February 23, 24 and March 1, 2, 2024
Myths and fairytales give expression to unconscious processes, and their retelling causes these processes to come alive again and be recollected . . . C. G. Jung CW 9ii, §280
In four seminars, we’ll explore timeless issues through fairy tales—archetypal patterns revealing life’s dangers and possibilities.
The first seminar delves into the Shadow, exploring the discernment between personal and collective shadows. The second focuses on Initiation, followed by seminars on Compensation and Individuation.
Each meeting has a specific focus, but like dreams, fairy tales cover various aspects of life. Discussions, guided yet open, include participant interests.
Before each meeting, participants receive an electronic tale to read together. We’ll consider it step by step, asking: Where do we see this motif in life today? This journey through tales enhances awareness of symbolic language, freeing us from literal perspectives.

Both Carl Jung and Marie-Louise von Franz wrote that fairy tales reveal the structure of the psyche. Together we can explore how to make the timeless language of tales accessible to our modern day lives.
Indeed the world of archetypes presents basic psychic structures that remain self-identical over millennia, but which at the same time are a driving dynamic element behind every new creation, because they are in movement and re-constellate themselves anew in century-spanning processes of transformation.
