Join Sylvia for the first of a new series of myth and writing workshops through the winter of 2025-2026. Each workshop will begin with Sylvia’s live telling of a fairytale or myth, followed by a short break, and then a series of guided writing exercises in the second hour to walk you deeper into the story’s landscapes, characters and living magic.
From the roots of the hazel tree, Cinderella’s mother sends up shining gowns and talking birds. In older versions of Cinderella, her mother speaks to her from the bones under the hearth. In this session, Sylvia will tell a version of Cinderella woven from several very old sources where cows and snakes, hazel trees and doves all offer nourishment to the daughter who can understand their language. What does it mean to allow ourselves to be mothered by the living world?
February 22nd 2026, from 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM PST (ZOOM)
Upon purchasing this course, you will receive a pdf with a Zoom link to the live class. Recordings will be available to participants for one month after the event.
