Gorana Sandric invites you to explore fairy tales and myths not as stories of the past, but as living maps for navigating modern life. The three-part series is an open and reflective journey for anyone curious about the impact of storytelling on the inner life - especially in moments of transition, searching for direction or meaning, or simply drawn to the idea that stories carry wisdom. You're warmly invited to bring your own experiences, questions, and imagination. Together, through listening, guided drawing, and conversation, we'll explore what ancient narratives can reveal about the challenges we carry today - self-doubt, loss, change, and the courage to become who we are. Not as problems to solve, but as dragons to meet, and perhaps to overcome. Gorana Sandric is a doctoral researcher, leadership consultant, coach, and Jungian analyst-in-training. Session 1: The Call to the Journey (28 October 2026) Stories of departure, identity, and the moment when life invites us beyond what is familiar. Together, we will explore themes of belonging, change, and the search for one's own path. Session 2: Meeting the Dragon (11 November 2026) Stories of challenge, conflict, and courage. W
