Story Of The Month

The Wisdom of Fairy Tales

Thursday 27 February 7pm – 8.30pm

Talk and book launch with Marko Pogacnik

It was not that long ago that all of us lived close to the land and had the time – and the silence – to witness the natural processes and the more subtle realms of worldly phenomena. Not that long ago, too, when fairies and elves and spirits of the woods were our companions as much as dogs and cats, for people have always lived through the imagination alongside physical experience. Spirituality is as much part of our nature as is creativity, and we can interpret fairy tales on a much deeper level, to remember that beyond our everyday rational experience there is the steady causal background, the world of ideas and metaphysical truths which give us symbols and archetypes.
Join us for this rare visit from Marko and the launch of his new book which will take place after the talk, Grimm’s Fairy Tales Decoded: precious messages from the past for the future (Feb 2025).

Entrance £8 / £5 concession.
