BONUS SESSION 20th April

After a week of reflection on our own, this session is for us to explore all the parts of the story and how its illuminated the different parts of ourselves.

Vassilisa the Wise is an ancient fairy tale that speaks quietly and powerfully to moments of loss, transition, courage, and inner knowing. Across cultures and generations, this story has guided people through darkness toward clarity, trust, and embodied wisdom.

In this 4-week course, we will slowly enter the world of Vassilisa the Wise. Rather than analyzing the tale intellectually, we will listen to it—through images, symbols, imagination, reflection, and creative practices. This is an invitation to let the story work on you, just as it has done for centuries.

What this course offers

• A gentle, guided exploration of Vassilisa the Wise over four weeks

• Deep engagement with the images and symbols of the tale

• Space to reflect on how the story mirrors your own life experiences

• Practices that support inner guidance, resilience, and trust

• Creative and contemplative exercises (writing, imagery, reflection)

• A supportive group container for sharing and listening

Why Vassilisa?

Vassilisa teaches us how to carry inner light through difficult terrain—grief, betrayal, uncertainty, and transformation.

She shows us how to “hold ourselves” when outer structures fall away and how to listen to the quiet wisdom that lives within.

This tale is especially meaningful if you are:

• Navigating change, loss, or a threshold moment in your life

• Longing to reconnect with intuition and inner authority

• Drawn to fairy tales as sources of guidance and meaning

• Curious about storytelling as a path to self-discovery

Course structure

Each week we will focus on a different part of the tale, allowing time for:

• Storytelling and guided reflection

• Working with images, landscapes, and symbolic objects

• Personal insight and integration

• Rest, expansion, and imaginative depth

This is a slow course—designed to give the story time to unfold and to meet you where you are.

An invitation

You do not need prior knowledge of fairy tales, psychology, or mythology.

All you need is curiosity and a willingness to listen.

This is about discovering how the story already lives inside you.

Vassilisa the Wise is a story you can return to again and again.
Let it become a companion, a teacher, and a quiet guide.
