Painting A Fairytale

Painting A Fairytale

In this four-week online workshop, participants deepen their understanding of a Grimm fairy tale through experiential engagement, making its symbolic meaning accessible on both personal and archetypal levels. Embodying images that arise from the unconscious can have healing effects, fostering a renewed attitude toward the past, which often remains imprisoned or dormant within the psyche. Painting offers an experiential, non-verbal path to accessing these energies. For health professionals, the practice of exploring personal inner images supports the development of skills to help guide clients toward renewed attitudes and symbolic depth, consistent with C.G. Jung’s approach to clinical work.

4-week online workshop, Tuesdays, November 3, 10, 17, and 24, 2026, 2:00 p.m.– 4:00 p.m.

This workshop is for adults only; no previous painting experience is necessary. 8 CE credits available. No partial credit will be awarded.
