Fairy tales are not just for children! Youth tales are the most common fairy tales and feature young heroes and heroines facing first half of life challenges and “live happily ever after.” But what really happens in the “ever after?” This is the second of a two-part series exploring Elder Tales--fairy tales featuring older protagonists. Elder tales present an alternative to the dominant heroic perspective and unrealistic “happily ever after,” offering different perspectives that focus on wisdom, self-knowledge, and transcendence. Open to participants who didn't take part 1.
