In this experiential workshop we journey deep into an ancient story forest and walk alongside some of our most well-known story characters. Through storytelling and creative activities, we explore the climate crisis and possible ways of working with eco anxiety and eco grief.
We will:
We may be doing expressive drawing and creative writing, so please have some paper and coloured pencils or crayons available.
Stories have been with us since the very beginning of humanity when we gathered around the fire to listen to myths of creation to connect us with our inner selves, our clan and the universe. They have accompanied us through dark times, of war and plague and they are here to accompany us now, with their medicine, in this time of uncertainty and climate crisis.
Fairy tales have been transmitted orally through many generations and they speak of essential human experience which touches us on a subconscious level. The fairy-tale journey into unexplored worlds is paralleled by an inner journey into unexplored regions of the self. As we travel in the shoes of the characters, we observe how they resolve conflicts and overcome obstacles in their paths, and this can help us explore our issues.
