Fairy Tale of the Month
Each month Lisa shares a fairytale via written word and read aloud. There will be prompts for journaling and discussion that will deepen your insights about the fairy tale and help you apply the story's medicine to your own life.
Monthly Live Event
Lisa hosts a live event where we can share thoughts, insights and dreams inspired by the fairy tale of the month. Event times will change but as a rough guide, will be between 12-3pm US ET to allow for more people to attend.

Hear What Members Have to Say
“I'm not—we're not any of us—just one story. This work has helped me pick up so many different threads of my life-so many of them vibrant yet forgotten or undervalued-and weave them back into my story.”
“It is such a warm and inviting space. And, for me, has been not only a tool for self-discovery, but an antidote for all of the craziness that is happening in the world right now.”
“I am discovering just how much the fairy tales can offer us, from reading everyone’s interpretations. The conversations that emerge are really so rich to experience. Thank you Lisa for organizing all this, it is very unique.”
“It is that quiet ‘authoring’ of my own story that I am learning from this group that feels most bold.”
“I initially came through love of fairytales. But what I didn't expect is how it's rewriting my own story”
“I feel like I have had so many of these treasures right under my nose my whole life and am only realizing now how much gold they contain.”
