Long before princesses were pink and perfect, these stories showed women how to face the unfaceable, find hidden strength, and transform challenges into growth and empowerment.In this talk, Dr Sharon Blackie reminds us that fairy tales were made for times of uncertainty, change and upheaval.

Drawing from her new book, Ripening, she reflects on how fairy tales mirror the realities of ordinary lives, illuminating who we are and who we could be.

They offer powerful images and help us see the new possibilities that appear when the systems around us begin to break.Join us to explore how fairy tales have taught women across generations to be savvy, confident, and assertive - and why these stories are still needed today.Dr Sharon Blackie is an award-winning and internationally bestselling author, and a psychologist with a background in mythology and folklore.Presented by Seed TalksThis is an 18+ event
