Exploring Inner States through Fairy Tales with Laura Lewis-Barr

Sunday, March 10 from 2 to 4 pm EST 

(This program will *not* be recorded)

Join Laura Lewis Barr for her stop-motion, fairy tale film, “The Linguist,” based on the Grimm tale, “The 3 Languages” and inspired by Laura’s reading of Marie Louise Von Franz. We will explore the tale’s provocative symbols and how they show up in our lives: a child not living up to a parent’s expectations, learning the language of animals, confronting monsters, discovering treasure, and answering a frightening call.  In this workshop, Laura will seek to make these old stories new again by updating the film with hidden symbols, humor, modern tropes, and a female hero.  

Attendees can watch the 7-minute film ahead of our time together and we will also watch it together in 3 parts. Our discussion will focus on how the symbols and guidance of the tale might appear in our daily lives.  Whether in small breakout rooms, or through larger voice and chat discussions, we will use the tools of Zoom to have a lively discussion that explores head, heart, and soul.

Fairy tales (and these films) welcome repeat viewings. As we return again and again to these old stories, they provide new insights.  Join us! https://psychescinema.com/free-short-films/the-linguist/
