Folk Tale Seminars in Perth, Scotland
Hi everyone, my dad was harrassing me to go and look at his website that he's been working on, and I was looking in the Events section and came across something that might be of interest to people here. (Please also pass this along to anyone you know that may be interested!). From here: http://www.spanglefish.com/trans-scot/library.asp
Folk Tale Seminars 2006 by Robina Pye
Folk Tales (or fairy stories) are ancient and wonderful stories that come from the deepest levels of our soul. Speaking in the symbolic language of the unconscious they are teaching stories dealing with the major challenges of life, the dawning of sexuality, leaving home, marriage, the birth of a child, the death of one’s parents and the themes of youth, maturity and old age. Their purpose is to guide us step by step through life’s important transitions and to take us into the wisdom of maturity.
Folk Tales are like a dream, and working with them is to make the tale, the dream, our own; integrating and incorporating its value and teachings into our life.
Of fairy tales Julienne McLean, a Jungian Analyst and Spiritual Director writes in her book ‘Towards Mystical Union’, “…the psychological and the spiritual constantly interpenetrate - informing, relating to and nourishing each other. The Spirit touches us intimately in our dreams, in myths and fairy tales … the worlds of depth psychology and spirituality lie very close together and must constantly seek to learn from each other.”
In these seminars we will be approaching the tales from the perspective of Jungian psychology. By allowing our imaginative response to the tales to be evoked and from our experience of life, poetry, films, story, art, scripture and the symbolic language of the unconscious, seek to understand its message and its teaching.
