This class will cover the folktale origins of fairy tales, their transformation during the Renaissance with the invention of the printing press, what makes fairy tales unique and the valuable functions they’ve served as entertainment, education and inspiration in preliterate societies around the world.

Lauren and Christopher Cunningham are certified Jungian Analysts in private practice in San Francisco. Lauren graduated from the University of California, Berkeley and Christopher graduated from the California Institute of Integral Studies. Lauren has taught Jungian Psychology to candidates in training in China, Taiwan, Singapore, Romania and India. Christopher has taught Clinical Psychology at Antioch’s San Francisco campus and candidates in the Jung Institute. Both share a deepening interest in the antiquity, evolution and bounty of fairy tales and their contribution to human development.
