The Psychology of Fairy Tales

“Fairy tales are the simplest and purest expression of the collective unconscious and thus offer the clearest understanding of the basic patterns of the human psyche” – The Interpretation of Fairy Tales, Marie Louise von Franz

The study of fairy tales belongs to the core of Jungian tradition.  I am offering an online group to explore the fairy tale The Three Feathers.

We will begin with a brief presentation on C G Jung and Dr. von Franz and an introduction to some Jungian terms to get us started.

We will then explore the fairy tale the Three Feathers through a lens of depth psychology.  We will discuss parallels between this story and modern day struggles to reveal the timeless wisdom that the fairy tale holds for our contemporary world.  So, uncovering archetypal and personal significance of the fairy tale. 

There are two opportunities to participate: 

• Thursdays: 19^th June, 3^rd and 17^th July – between 4.00pm and 6.00pm 

• Saturdays: 21^st June, 5^th and 19^th July - between 10.00am and 12.00pm

There is flexibility to choose one of the sessions, if it is in the same week, from the other group eg. Thursday 19^th June, Saturday 5^th and 19^th July.  

The fee for the 3 sessions is £90.00.
