In this series, we will examine the Russian/Finnish story, "The Wonderful Birch." This is a story with challenging variations on the Cinderella classic, including shapeshifting, murder, and wise women.

The Diving Deeply series invites participants to explore stories with rich metaphor and mystery, seeking meanings below the surface that often affect the listener - and the storyteller - without their awareness. Participants dissect the stories, their symbols and metaphors, and uncover both the first set of meanings that seem to present themselves and then consider alternative tellings and impacts.

A limited number of scholarships are available upon request. Likewise, those who can afford more to help subsidize those who can't are encouraged to do so.

This is truly a unique experience to dive deeply into these mystical depths.
