During a personal crisis novelist and poet Dale M. Kushner wrote a fairy tale to survive it. Decades later, she returns to that story to ask a larger question: what do fairy tales teach us about creativity, trauma, and transformation? That inquiry became Wild Freedom: The Princess Who Found Her Name—On Fairy Tales, Imagination, and the Creative Mind (Chiron Publications, 5/5/26), a hybrid work of fairy tale, memoir, and reflection that explores imagination as a vital psychological and spiritual practice.
Join us for a lively afternoon celebrating the launch of Jungian multidisciplinary writer Dale M. Kushner’s newest book, Wild Freedom: The Princess Who Found Her Name. Dale welcomes world-renowned analyst Murray Stein, alongside esteemed Jungian analysts Henry Abramovitch and Dariane Pictut, to the virtual stage for a dynamic panel discussion on the book. Together, they will explore what fairy tales can reveal about creativity, trauma, and transformation, suggesting readers partake of their own journeys of self-discovery.
