Course Description

Fairy Tales from Around the World

This rich and soulful course invites you on a journey through five fairy tales from across the globe—each revealing something essential about the human psyche and our shared longing for wholeness. Guided by respected Jungian analysts, storytellers, and shamans, we travel through Southern Africa, India, China, Japan, and the Western world.

Each story opens a doorway to the deep symbolic language of the soul. Though rooted in different cultures, these tales reveal that beneath our surface differences lives a shared human nature—one that wrestles with love, creativity, betrayal, purpose, and transformation.

We meet the fiery elemental power of the African Rainbird, the feminine self-initiation in Rumpelstiltskin, the cosmic longing of Chinese star-crossed lovers, the subtle presence of “Nothingness” in Japanese stories, and the Indian prince’s journey of individuation and anima discovery.

This course brings together depth psychological insight, cultural wisdom, and symbolic imagination. It invites you to listen with the ears of the heart. These are not just stories to be understood—they are experiences to be felt and remembered, as mirrors to your own inner journey.

You will become part of a like-hearted community of seekers who value meaning, myth, and soul. In a divided world, this course is a healing act—reminding us that, at our core, we are deeply connected.

This program is ideal if you want to be able to

  • Understand the symbolic language of fairy tales and long to discover their deeper psychological wisdom.
  • Enrich your practice with cross-cultural myth and Jungian insight as a therapist, coach, healer, or guide.
  • Embark on a personal journey of transformation and want stories that mirror your inner life and growth.
  • Find a like-hearted community where meaning, imagination, and soulful connection are valued.
