Exploring our own inner fairy tale is part of my vision for these films. Here are some questions for reflection. They are great for use individually or in groups. (We’ve found that many additional ideas are generated in groups.)
Part 1 – they meet the Bear
- What do you notice?
- When/how have you been too innocent in your life? Has the desire to “be nice” been part of your story?
- What does the bear bring up for you?
- What wildness (or other things mentioned above) in yourself have you encountered? When, where was it?
- How do I relate to this part?
PART 2 – they meet the Dwarf the first time
- What do you notice?
- What does the dwarf bring up for you?
- When has this quality shown up in my life? (inner voice, hard on me?)
- How do I deal with inner/outer treasures?
Part 3 – the last two visits of the Dwarf and the ending
- What do you notice?
- What might we say about the repetitions in this tale?
- When did my wildness or dangerous strength help me?
- When have I had the strength or courage to kill something that needed extinguishing?
