A tale of healing

Join me for an interactive workshop where we will explore the Brothers Grimm fairy tale “The Water of Life” through an archetypal lens. By treating it as a dream, we will look at themes related to masculine initiation and healing, relating it to personal themes from waking life. We will cover:

• the theme of the dying king;

• the three brothers;

• the trial as a hero’s journey;

• the princess as anima figure;

• the water of life and spiritual renewal;

• the theme of redemption.

Preparing for the class:

This is a short tale. I recommend that you read or listen to the fairy tale ahead of this workshop.

You do not need to read any interpretations of the fairy tale beforehand and I recommend that you don’t, so that you approach it from an experiential, intuitive perspective, rather than an intellectual one. Resources will be provided after.
