BONUS SESSION 20th April
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.
