“Where do Fairy Tales Live?” – Family-friendly workshop for children and adults
“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”― Albert Einstein
“Someday you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”― C.S. Lewis
Fairy tale storytelling creativity in unity with Nature develops unique abilities through imagination, uniting Mind and Heart.
Beauty of Nature helps us to see Beauty of Heart and supports seeing the amazing world that everyone has, supporting the bridge Feelings-Thought-Action-Result.
This workshop stems from a collaboration spanning over 25 years with children and adults from more than 20 nationalities. And each of them, as all participants, was unique. I organised these workshops in villages and cities in kindergartens, schools, museums, book exhibitions, ecology and community centers, and many other places because fairy tales live everywhere where we live.
The age of the participants was from 3+ to 80+, and sometimes the youngest slept quietly in a baby cart 🙂 And even if sometimes the translator was late, we created together as a team because creativity has a language that unites all of us. It is the language of the heart.
We continue to develop these workshops and are happy to support you in this activity. Welcome!
Warm wishes, Olga Verasen
Educator, writer, and fairy tale storyteller 🙂
