Stories to Grow

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the stories that shape our lives. Myths, fairy tales and the natural world remind us that change is part of being human and that every ending carries the seed of a new beginning. These stories have become an integral part of my work, offering women new open ways of understanding themselves and the courage to step into the next chapter of their lives.

Stories, the ones we inherit, the ones we tell ourselves; the ones we remember well, the ones we imagine, all of them have the power to heal, inspire and guide us. Combined with the support of a caring community, they become powerful companions through life's transitions.

One of the greatest gifts we can pass on to each other is the gift of stories, they open the world to dimensions of rich tapestry of human relationship with the Earth, the Ocean, the Sky, the Divine presence of light, the dark journeys of the night and ancestors, the birthing of queens and kings , the choices of river, and the consequences of the choices made.

Stories expand the inner world, create landscapes and relations with the animated earth.

This session is about recognising what has already been claimed

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 analysing 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 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 for self-discovery

Course structure

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

• Myth Segment

• Archetypal Teaching

• Embodied Practice

• Creative Integration

• Threshold questions

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

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

Personal insight and integration

Rest, expansion, and imaginative depth

Vassilisa the Wise is a story you can return to again and again.

Let it become a companion, a teacher, and a quiet guide.
