NEXT EVENT | Wisdom of the Fairy Tale. Sacramento, CA Feb 13th

Join us for this one-day pre teacher-conference workshop. This will be an exploration of the significance behind the ‘workers’ in the Fairy Tales. Such characters as the shoemaker, the woodcutter, the fisherman, the tailor, the baker, etc. profoundly and positively influence the moral will of the young child. Our work will include the gesture, movement, story voice, presence, and character of these ‘doers’ of story, those who show us meaningful, purposeful activity. Contact Suzanne for further information.
