Wisdom of Fairy Tales

BECOME ENCHANTED WITH LIFE AGAIN

A Self-Study Online Course
to Reignite the Magic in Your Life

Let's face it...you probably wouldn't be here exploring this journey unless your soul was seeking a bit of re-enchantment with life.

Fairy tales, mythology and folklore have enchanted and enlivened human beings since the beginning of time, challenging, mystifying and awakening us (even if we don’t know how or why).

In today’s patriarchal dominance culture, far too many of us are moving through life in an almost numbed state as we try to keep up with all the “shoulds,” manage all the things, and maintain the act of not showing our self-doubt and angst with the way things are.

You might even be experiencing a long, slow burn of dissatisfaction that you fear may never end.

The enchantment has been lost.

Even if we’re feeling on-purpose in our lives, we find ourselves wondering why it seems so challenging to find space for ourselves and have greater ease in bringing our gifts.

Our Disenchantment with Life Is Not Our Fault

The cultural conditioning is difficult to rise above or escape when there’s a constant striving for “more, bigger, better, faster.”

How can any of us easily rise above that noise?

We try to escape or replenish through retreats, meditation, or substances, only to find those moments of peace quite difficult to access when we again are drowning in the sea of overwhelm and self-doubt.

We succumb to the “I don’t have time” voice that tells us such efforts toward a new way of approaching things are frivolous.

We’re uncomfortable with the unfamiliar, preferring the quick-fix or magic pill, rather than the unknown realm of ‘something different.’

The thing is, “something different” just might be exactly what the Soul is longing for.

We need a new lens through which to see the world that helps us to sustainably align with our Soul’s true path, and reanimate a sense of purpose.

Believe it or not, what reconnected me to my true path was Fairy Tales & Folklore.

Through these old tales (and I’m talking about the old tales, not the Disneyfied versions from my childhood, which were pure toxicity), my life began to feel re-enchanted.

I was deeply Soul-sick, and this new perspective was giving my Soul a voice that it never had before.

As I immersed myself in these stories, I discovered so much hidden and well-preserved magic in them.

As the archetypal, metaphorical connections to the many characters, places and experiences came alive within me, my life started to make sense and to change.

I could see myself in the striving of the hero or heroine of these stories. I could see my trials in their trials. I could see my shadow side in the villains of the tales.

I started to see that nothing would shift for me unless I could stand up for and take care of myself, fully owning my own crap and honoring that my life was my responsibility.

I realized that only I could be the leading character in the story of my life.

As I learned to see and experience life through archetypes, metaphors, symbols, dreams and stories, I began to experience the language of the Soul.

Soon I began to see everything as an archetype or metaphor for life...Nature, characters, movies, stories and more. I even began to see the bible in this way, which helped me to see all wisdom traditions through a completely different lens, and catapult my healing as a “recovering Christian.”

I discovered the ways in which the language of the Soul can be given a voice, re-enchanted, which actually means that it's able to sing again!

It's all there, sleeping beneath the surface, longing to be awakened, acknowledged and listened to.

The deep forest is indeed a beautiful place to see our own reflection, and find our way to the light of our True Being.

This experience has guided me to support other women to break free from the spell of entrapment in their life, and move toward a true sense of freedom and fulfillment.

“I’ve learned so much taking the Wisdom of Fairy Tales class with Kim Marie. Fairy Tales are an entry point for studying archetypes, the Hero's journey, spiritual science, the chakras, virtues, star wisdom and our own wisdom within. They’re a vehicle to dig into all aspects of life and consciousness. It’s been such a rich, inspiring experience. My classmates have become my friends and we’ve created a safe, sacred community that has supported and encouraged my own growth, insight and connection.”
