From Sap to Syrup: Distilling Wisdom from the Forest of Fairy Tales
April 25, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm PDT
The forest is an ecological wonder of biodiversity and bio-dynamics. The same can be said of psyche. Just as the Mother Tree supports and feeds the forest, guiding its growth and ensuring its health, fairy tales serve a similar role in the cultural and psychological ecosystem. They nurture our moral and ethical growth, connecting us to deeper truths and wisdoms. Fairy tales are like central nodes in the human collective unconscious. They distribute psychological and spiritual nutrients, fostering a sense of interconnectedness and support among individuals across cultures and generations. In this lecture we tap into this ancient wisdom and savor its sweetness.
