Deepening Into Story

Deepening Into Story
The Power of storytelling

Through old European folk/fairy tales or stories from mythology, the world of transformations and initiations opens to us.

This workshop is a beautiful exploration of the meaning of our own experiences and how a story or myth helps us gain a deeper perspective on our personal narratives.
