WonderLit™ Courses
WonderLit™ gives you a way to reflect on your life
by exploring a fairy tale.
The situations in fairy tales are familiar to us all. We know what it’s like to be lost in a forest, spellbound by a charismatic person, or left out in the cold. People have been finding themselves in fairy tales for thousands of years, and the stories give us a shining thread to follow when we’re going through a dark passage.
In the WonderLit™ courses, you will shed light on a fairy tale with the power of your own imagination. Guided by creative writing and mythic imagination exercises, you’ll step into the world of the story you’ve chosen to explore. By using your imagination to look around, you’ll likely find that your own life experience is being reflected in the mirror of the story.
WonderLit™ is for any adult who is interested in creative writing, storytelling, and the symbolic language of myth. The chapters have been carefully prepared with exercises, video guidance, and the author’s own examples. They are designed to bring you through a fairy tale, step-by-step, at your own pace. First you will get an overview of the story and a good sense of why you relate to it. Then, if you wish, you can move into an ever-deepening engagement with the story that can lead to some spell-breaking epiphanies.
