Using Folktales in Working with Grief
Folktales about grief build a connection to a wider spiritual and cross-cultural perspective. While providing a safe distance to one’s own experience they introduce images of hope and healing and speak to the emotional tasks that are common to the grief process.
Folktales and experiential exercises will help us explore psychospiritual issues in bereavement.
