Fairy Tales In Times of Transition

Fairy Tales In Times of Transition
Opening to the Archetypal Dimensions of Psyche

Jack Zipes, renowned translator and scholar of literature and culture, calls on we lovers of fairy stories to “become gravediggers.” He entreats us to dig into the remote past and resurrect the lost stories. Join us with symbolic spade and pick axe as we open the vault into the archetypal dimension of psyche. In these two lectures, Jungian analyst and Fairy Tale lover Muriel McMahon will guide us into discovering the eternal and timeless wisdom in the fairy tale. Choosing stories that speaks to and for our times, we will explore how the pattern of reality, the pattern of psyche, the pattern of transformation is ever-present for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. To become archetypal pattern readers of the faery realm is to find the hidden secret that unlocks the timeless soul that is our legacy.
