Women’s Story Circle
Presenter: Sarah Gibson
Sarah Gibson leads an exploration into the contemporary psychological resonances of fairy stories such as The Handless Maiden, Baba Yaga and The Black Woman’s Castle. Fortnightly in a small group, women listen to and engage with the mystery, hidden meanings and inspiration of these tales.
Stories set the inner life in motion, and this is particularly important when the inner life is wedged and cornered. Story greases the hoists and pulleys, it causes adrenaline to surge, shows us the way out…
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
This small group of no more than 10 women meets fortnightly, and involves discussion and creative responses to the stories. No prior experience with fairy tale interpretation is needed.
Sarah Gibson is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Sydney. She has been working with fairy tales for a long time both clinically and creatively. She is also an artist and filmmaker currently completing Re-enchantment- an interactive journey into the hidden world of fairy tales for release on ABC early in 2010.
