Hansel and Gretel: An online Deep-mapping journey in story

Description

An online journey at The Soul Shed

Fairy tales carry deep medicine. They offer us ways to encounter danger, resourcefulness, and transformation in the symbolic realm—so that we may carry their wisdom into our own lives. In this interactive online workshop, we will explore the timeless story of Hansel and Gretel as a map of the healing journey, drawing on movement, imagination, laughter, and the wisdom of the Enneagram.

What to Expect

In this workshop, you will:

• Enter the story of Hansel and Gretel through guided storytelling and imaginative exercises.

• Discover the archetypal stages of the tale, from leaving home to facing monsters, and connect them with your own experiences of challenge and growth.

• Engage in creative practices (ritual gestures, simple enactments, reflective writing) that bring the story alive in body and soul.

• Learn from the Enneagram map how shock points and turning points shape the spiral of transformation.

• Laugh and reflect together in a safe, playful, and supportive space.

Why This Story?

Hansel and Gretel is more than a children’s tale. It’s a story of neglect, resourcefulness, and ultimately resilience. It asks: How do we learn about danger without being consumed by it? How do we find our way home, changed but not broken? These are questions for every stage of life.
