Thursday May 6, 2010 The Inside-out, Upside-down World in a Fairytale: Presented by Jungian Analyst Mara-Lea Rosenbarger

Some tales turn the tables and show us another side of life. These tales often reveal blind spots and remind us to keep looking and listening. When Marie-Louise von Franz described the various types of fairytales, she included the compensatory tale, which like the compensatory dream, shows us an aspect of a situation that we have missed.

Such tales may seem rather obvious or simple but such a reaction is a sure sign that we are stuck in a one-sided point of view and not attending to the details of the story which reveal the layers and complexities of life.

Join us to work with a delightful tale that will challenge us to patiently engage with the universal theme of role reversals. We will be careful not to be overly literal or to fall into stereotypical thinking about masculine and feminine as we explore the Norwegian tale, ” The Husband Who Was to Mind the House”.

Presentations are held from 7:00-9:00 pm at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Indianapolis at 615 W. 43rd St. Indianapolis, In. Direction can be found above under the heading Meetings.
