September 7, at 11:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street – "The Seven Tasks of a Folktale"

Connie Thibeau-Catsis will discuss the tasks proposed in the analysis of the folktale, "Vasalisa the Beautiful." This tale is retold from Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.'s book, "Women Who Run with Wolves."

Pinkola Estes analyzes the tales based on her background as a Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller. Thibeau-Catsis will present an abbreviated version of the story renamed as "Vasee, the Bold." This version still addresses the issues of retrieving one's intuition, releasing past issues, and facing challenging times. Elise Stuart will share two of her poems, and the singing will be led by the "No Wrong-Note Singers."
