Description

This session presents personal applications of initiatory tales. We will revisit Dorothy and The Wizard of Oz to ponder the gifts of the mythic quest. The format is storytelling with discussion of key elements, such as hearing a calling and serving worthy goals. In a spirit of play, we will follow each stage of the adventure to find hidden riches.

Learning objectives:

  1. Discern the shaping influence of stories
  2. Apply narratives to life-stage transition challenges
  3. Identify plot patterns as unconscious scripts
  4. Recognize how crises of faith, courage, and identity can be calls for renewal
  5. Employ methods of engaging the imagination to claim emotional resources
